When using a lifeboat/MOB-boat it is important to ensure that the boat is equipped with a compass, life jackets, a radar-reflector, a flashlight, a medical kit, bailing instrument, etc. in accordance with SOLAS.
In practice, this equipment is usually kept outside the open MOB boat to protect it from the weather. However, this equipment must be on board on each occasion that the boat is used.
