The Ikaros range of lifesaving signals
Lifesaving signals must be reliable. They have to work. Also,the instructions must be clear and easy to understand, and they must be easy to handle. Because in distress situations nothing can go wrong – your life depends on it. Ikaros has produced lifesaving signals since 1888; Ikaros products are globally approved and they meet the demanding SOLAS* requirements.
