EMERGENCY REPAIR KITS
Damage Control Kit
Be prepared for a flooding emergency! USCG statistics indicate that every year more than 25 percent of all fishing industry vessel losses are related to unintentional flooding. Unintentional flooding has also contributed to near-sinkings countless times. The NPFVOA Damage Control Kit comes with an illustrated manual explaining standard techniques for repairing damage from uncontrolled flooding, flood rate charts and emergency drill suggestions. The products included in the kit supply ready-to-use materials which quickly reduce or stop unintentional flooding (i.e., damage control) and give the crew a chance to effect a temporary repair, or reach port. The Damage Control Kit is packed in an easy-to-stow container clearly marked with its contents and fits any size vessel or gear type. Includes:
1 roll duct tape
2 rolls heavy duty jute twine
Lot duct seal (1 lb)
