Lifebouy Rings

[martinwoolwich]

Can anyone help. I'm trying to find a supplier in the UK of white lifebouy rings. Just pure white, not white and red combinations or orange. The rings should be either 24" or 30" and must conform with SOLAS or USCG Type for 100miles offshore.

I've found loads on the web through the USA but none in the UK

Maybe a part explanation.

Some european countries specifically prohibit white life saving devices and Greece goes further in only approving orange. Maybe this is why you can't get them in white here. Horseshoe buoys are available in white but you probably know this already.

Thanks for the info Steve, I didn't realise that.

Since I saw US sites stating that the rings were SOLAS approved, I assumed this was an international standard and would therefore be OK over here.

I appreciate your feedback
