I met Yvon Leroy, the technical director of the Marine Institut of Prevention in Lorient Bretagne, in charge of getting the safety equipments its way on most french boats, for off-shore platforms, fret, commercial, touristic and fishermen. His institution keeps a record of all accidents and safety procedures to adapt and enhance the health and safety response on board, and on survival equipments and communications.
