Vessel name
The SART label has a space where the vessel name is marked (see Figure
3). This can be done as follows.
With an indelible pen, write the vessel name directly onto the SART. Note,
however, that some indelible inks will fade when exposed to strong
sunlight, so a ultra-violet (UV) resistant pen is recommended.
If the full vessel name will not fit in the space provided, use a recognized
abbreviation or the vessel's call sign instead.

SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION

Life raft stowage
The SART can either be stowed in a life raft or lifeboat or it can be installed
next to an emergency exit for carriage to the life raft in an emergency.
For life raft stowage the SART should be positioned for easy access in an
emergency. If the SART is hidden from view then labels should be used to
show its position. For inflatable life rafts the mounting bracket should be
discarded to avoid the risk of damaging the life raft.
CAUTION: Do not:
Vessel Mounting
To deploy the PathFinder™
raft, hang SART near vertical as high as possible, with a clear view of the
horizon. The SART must not be obscured by metal bulkheads etc.
The SART should be mounted inside the vessel, next to an emergency exit.
Some ships require 2 SARTs, one by a port exit and one by a starboard
exit. Mount each SART as follows:
Mount in plain view, at a convenient height, so that all crew can easily
remove the SART.
Position at least 1 meter from the ship‟s compass.
