Lifeboat water expired?? winter precautions!! 3/o duties🚢⚓ | DAY 23 of 150 Days of Sailing |

Welcome back to 150 Days of Sailing, exclusively on Explore The Sea With Hemant 🌊⚓—your real gateway into the world of Merchant Navy life, discipline, and daily challenges at sea.

As the harsh winter season approaches, the responsibilities on board increase drastically. In today’s vlog, I’m taking you behind the scenes to show how we prepare our ship for the cold months ahead. Winter at sea is not just about rough waves—it’s about ensuring every piece of life-saving equipment is fully ready for emergency situations. ❄️🌬️🌊

One of the most crucial winter precautions is the replacement of lifeboat drinking water and food rations.
Why? Because extreme cold can cause storage pouches to freeze, expand, or lose quality. So before winter hits, we:
🔹 Replace old lifeboat water pouches
🔹 Check and change food rations
🔹 Inspect expiry dates
🔹 Ensure everything is secured and weather-proof
This may look like a small task, but in an emergency, these supplies can save lives. Safety starts with preparation.
The 3rd Officer plays a key role in ensuring safety, compliance, and smooth operations throughout the voyage—especially when the sea turns unpredictable and visibility drops.

Through this vlog, you’ll get a look into how Merchant Navy crews prepare for winter and how every deck officer contributes to the ship’s safety. This is real, raw sea life—no filters, no scripts. 🚢🔥
