Safety at Sea Crew Apparel

Safety at sea shirts and hoodies for the crew who run the drills. Fire drill, man overboard, lifeboat, free fall boat, fast rescue boat, life raft, EPIRB, and tender boat designs, each built around a real SOLAS station or procedure.

Everything here is clothing. Life jackets, immersion suits, and safety boots come from the ship. What the prints carry is the drill itself: the General Emergency Alarm, the walk to the muster station, the head count, the boat crew taking their seats, the fire team checking hoses and breathing apparatus.

T-shirts are 100% pre-shrunk cotton at 170 to 180 g/m2. Hoodies are heavyweight cotton-face, 65% cotton and 35% polyester at 288 g/m2. They are made for people who have stood the station: deck ratings, engineers, cadets, and cruise hotel crew who answer the same alarm.

New to the terms? What Is SOLAS? covers the convention behind every drill. What Is Safety at Sea? covers the daily practice, and What Does 7 Short and 1 Long Mean on a Ship? explains the alarm this brand is named after.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 7 short blasts and 1 long blast mean?

Seven short blasts followed by one long blast on the ship's whistle and general alarm bells is the General Emergency Alarm under SOLAS. It does not mean abandon ship. It means: stop, go to your muster station, wait for orders. Abandon ship is a separate order, given by the master.

What is SOLAS and why is it important?

SOLAS stands for Safety of Life at Sea, the international convention setting minimum safety standards for commercial vessels worldwide. For every seafarer on a SOLAS ship, safety is not optional. It is the framework your entire working life is built around.

What does EPIRB stand for?

Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon. The distress device that transmits a vessel's position automatically in an emergency. If you have registered one, tested one, or been trained to activate one, this collection was made for you.

What is a fire drill at sea?

A mandatory SOLAS exercise where the crew musters at designated fire stations and practices emergency response. Every crew member has an assigned role: fire squad, emergency team, medical team, bridge team. If you have stood at your fire station at 07:00 on a Sunday in port, you earned the hoodie.

What is a man overboard drill?

A drill where the crew practices response to a person falling into the sea. Immediate helm action, fast rescue boat launch, coordinated recovery. Crew run this regularly. The muscle memory stays long after the contract ends.

Is Safety at Sea apparel suitable as a gift for seafarers?

Yes. Every design references something anyone who has served at sea recognizes immediately. Muster stations, EPIRB, lifeboat procedures, fire drill protocol. Built for crew. Not for tourists who like anchors.
