SeaAir Barents
SeaAir Barents is a further development of our widely acclaimed SeaAir1 survival suit that received the Award for Design Excellence from the Norwegian Design Council in 2008. It is our most advanced suit and has an IMO SOLAS 6-hour certification. The suit is intended for helicopter transport of personnel to and from offshore oil fields in Arctic waters. The suit is packed with safety features such as emergency breathing system (re-breather), emergency personal locator beacon (PLB), sprayhood for face protection, emergency light, buddy line, etc. The suit is designed to be used without a lifejacket and it is possible to top up the level of inflation manually for increased comfort and freeboard. An “intelligent” lining fabric stabilize the inside temperature of the suit and reduces body heat significantly. SeaAir Barents is used by everyone transported to oil installations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

Personal Locator Beacon and Emergency breathing system
SeaAir - The most "intelligent" surival suit - ever!
SeaAir Barents is a further development of our SeaAir1 Helicopter Passenger Survival Suit designed to meet conditions in Arctic waters.
HPL-2 Personal Locator Beacon
Previous tracking transmitters used by offshore oil workers have only transmitted signals on the 121.5 MHz (VHF) emergency wave band that only rescue helicopters and rescue boats could pick up. The new HPL-2 includes also transmission of the exact GPS-position through the widely used AIS-system. HPL-2 utilise satelites in both the US GPS network and the russian GLONASS network. With both systems active, a more precise positioning is secured, especially north of the polar circle.
HP ERBS emergency breathing system
SeaAir Barents is equipped with HP ERBS, an air pocket re-breather system based on your own air. This system has been in operation on the NCS since 2005.

Survival/immersion suit
From one of the world's foremost developers and manufacturers of survival equipment
Hansen Protection has been a pioneer in safety at sea since we launched kapok lifejackets in 1932.
Our current range continues the company's strong traditions, where our greatest concern is to ensure optimal functionality and performance for all types of work at sea.
A first class survival suit can mean the difference between life and death.
As one of the world's foremost developers and manufacturers of survival equipment, Hansen Protection can offer a wide collection of survival suits. Survival can never be guaranteed, but we can guarantee that our survival suits satisfy the highest demands for safety.
Survival suits are obligatory for personnel on oil rigs, passenger ferries, merchant and fishing fleets plus in offshore helicopter transport.
Our dry suits provide sufficient buoyancy and protect against heat loss, and thus increase the survival time in cold water. All suits are tested and approved according to the strictest national and international standards.
