    The document describes hydrostatic release units (H.R.U.), which are devices used to automatically release life rafts from a ship when submerged in water. It discusses both disposable and serviceable H.R.U. models. The disposable unit is replaced every 2 years, while the serviceable unit is replaced annually. When submerged 4 meters or deeper, the H.R.U. activates and releases the lashing securing the life raft canister. The life raft then floats to the surface due to buoyancy and inflates using a painter line connected to an air cylinder. A weak link attached to the life raft breaks at 2.2 kilonewtons, allowing the raft
