| M (Medium) | 165 - 180 cm | 100 - 110 cm |

SOLAS Chapter III, Regulation 32/3.2 mandates that an immersion suit of an appropriate size must be provided for every person on board cargo ships (with exceptions only for vessels operating exclusively in warm climates).
The maritime industry enforces this regulation to ensure the safety of crew members in emergency situations.
Why Sizing Matters
- Regulatory Detentions: Port State Control (PSC) inspectors and flag states strictly audit crew lists against the size ranges specified on the immersion suits (e.g., maximum/minimum height and chest size). Improperly sized suits are a common reason for ship detentions.
- Life-Saving Functionality: An improperly fitting suit compromises safety. A suit that is too small cannot be donned, while an oversized suit hinders mobility in the water.
- Testing Standards: According to the LSA Code, every suit must allow the wearer to jump from a height of 4.5 m into the water, climb a 5 m vertical ladder, and perform abandonment duties, all of which require a proper fit
THE IMMERSION SUIT IS DESIGNED TO BE WORN WITHOUT LIFEJACKET
An immersion suit is a waterproof dry suit designed to protect a person from hypothermia in cold water. Also known as a survival suit, it keeps the wearer dry and maintains body heat, significantly improving chances of survival after abandoning a ship. These suits are typically bright orange or red for high visibility, made of fire-retardant material, and are designed to be easily and quickly donned in an emergency.
Key features and functions
- Hypothermia protection: The suit's primary function is to protect the wearer from hypothermia in cold water by keeping the body dry and insulated.
- High visibility: They are manufactured in bright colors like red or orange with reflective tape to make the wearer highly visible to rescuers.
- Fire resistance: The suits are made of non-flammable material that will not melt or burn for two seconds after being exposed to fire, which is important during a rapid evacuation.
- Easy to don: Suits are designed to be unpacked and put on without assistance in under two minutes, even over other clothing or a life jacket.
- Mobility: They allow for a reasonable degree of mobility, enabling the wearer to climb a ladder, swim a short distance, or board a survival craft.
- Full body coverage: The suit covers the entire body except for the face, with included gloves and boots (or built-in socks) covering the hands and feet.
- Buoyancy: Immersion suits also provide buoyancy, which helps a person flip from a face-down to a face-up position in the water.
Regulations and maintenance
- Regulatory requirements: International regulations like SOLAS mandate that a certain number of immersion suits be carried on vessels, depending on their trade area.
- Inspection: Suits must be inspected regularly for any damage to seams, zippers, or other components.
- Servicing: An official service is required every three years, and this interval may decrease after the suit reaches a certain age.
Immersion suit requirements, primarily governed by the SOLAS Convention, dictate that the suit must be constructed with waterproof and insulating materials, be donned without assistance within two minutes, protect the wearer from hypothermia, and be highly visible.
