Abandonment suits
In an emergency at sea, every second counts. When crews face a sudden vessel evacuation, they need a suit that delivers immediate, life‑saving thermal protection and flotation while maximising the chance of survival in cold‑water conditions. Abandonment immersion suits are purpose‑built for these moments, offering rapid donning, SOLAS‑approved thermal insulation, and high‑visibility buoyancy features that drastically improve in‑water safety during unplanned evacuations.
Maritime operations in oil & gas, commercial shipping, offshore wind, and passenger transport face increasing exposure to extreme environments. Cold shock, hypothermia, reduced mobility, and darkness can severely impact survivability. Abandonment immersion suits provide an essential safety barrier, ensuring crew and passengers stay protected long enough for rescue teams to arrive. When an evacuation alarm sounds, there is no second chance. Hansen Protection abandonment immersion suits provide the thermal resilience, fit, and safety performance your crews need to survive cold‑water emergencies. Fast to don, built to last, ready when it matters.
