Distress Flares

Fishing vessels are required to carry flares as described below.

The Parachute flare is easily seen from the surface or the air, and burns at least 40 seconds.  

The "Multi-star" flare is also easily seen from the surface or the air. It burns four to five seconds. (If a single star shell is used, two shells should be carried for every flare.)  

* For specific Regulation Requirements check the Regulations that apply to your vessel.
