In a bid to buoy up water safety standards in Phuket, the Phuket Regional Harbour Office has launched a heartwarming initiative with recycled life jackets aptly named Brother Helps Younger Brother. This campaign is steering towards recycling and repurposing marine equipment, particularly life jackets, to extend their serviceable life and save lives in potential accidents.

 

The campaign takes a two-pronged approach. Firstly, the office is appealing to operators who’ve mothballed their businesses, encouraging them to relinquish marine equipment that can still play a pivotal role in ensuring safety at sea. This proactive outreach ensures that functional equipment doesn’t go to waste.

 

Natchapong, a spokesperson for the initiative, passionately revealed its purpose.

 

“We aim to enhance water safety standards in Phuket, and in doing so, we hope to be the lifeline that saves lives during unforeseen mishaps.”
