The IKAROS buoyant smoke orange is a daylight distress signal that can be used on ships, lifeboats and life rafts.

This orange smoke signal emits a dense orange smoke visible both from boats several kilometres away, but also provides great visibility for search and rescue helicopters and airplanes.

The case is made of corrosion-resistant steel and carries clear and simple instructions, making the signal very easy to use. To activate it, simply remove the lid, pull the internal loop and throw it into the water. It will immediately emit smoke to attract attention.

The IKAROS buoyant smoke signal has been approved globally and meets the latest SOLAS regulations.
