| Abstract | This study examines the design of food rations for survival at sea required by the International Maritime Organization through the Life Saving Appliances (LSA) Code, as implemented by Transport Canada. Energy demand and body fat reserves were estimated for the Canadian population based on demographic and anthropometric data. It was determined that caloric content of food rations could be drastically decreased without potential harm to survivors of a marine abandonment. Coupled with ration reformulation, such decrease could be an opportunity to extend safe survival conditions to up to 5 days versus 2 days as currently provisioned by the LSA Code. |
