What is a Hammar H20 HRU?

An HRU — Hydrostatic Release Unit — is a vital safety device that automatically releases liferafts or emergency beacons if a vessel sinks.

The Hammar H20 activates under water pressure at 1.5–4 meters, allowing life-saving equipment to float free when it is needed most.

Small device. Critical function. Life-saving impact.

Last week, we looked at how the Hammar H20 ERU – Electronic Release Unit supports a controlled release process for marine evacuation equipment.

But the release unit is only one part of a larger safety system.

With Hammar Remote Release Systems, life-saving appliances can be activated from a safer and more strategic location onboard — such as the bridge, a muster station or another designated control point.

This means the crew does not always need to access exposed release positions during an emergency. Instead, the release sequence can be initiated remotely, helping reduce manual handling and enabling a faster, more controlled response in challenging conditions.

The system can be designed to activate one or several release units, depending on the vessel’s layout and safety requirements. It can also be integrated with sensors or control functions to support different evacuation scenarios.

For shipowners, designers and crews, remote release is about more than convenience. It is about giving the crew better control, improving access to life-saving equipment and contributing to safer evacuation procedures when every second counts.

Need support finding the right setup for your vessel?

At Hammar, we can help configure a remote release system that matches your vessel’s layout, safety requirements and operational needs.

How does an Electronic Release Unit work — and why does it matter at sea?

In an emergency evacuation, speed, control and crew safety are critical.

This animation shows how the Hammar H20 ERU – Electronic Release Unit supports a controlled release process for marine evacuation equipment.

Instead of requiring crew members to manually operate release points in exposed and potentially dangerous conditions, the system can be activated electronically from a safer position. Once activated, the signal is sent to the release unit, triggering the release mechanism and allowing the equipment to deploy as intended.

The result is a more controlled sequence that can help reduce manual handling, improve response time and support safer evacuation procedures in challenging maritime environments.

At Hammar, we believe safety at sea starts with solutions that are reliable, practical and easy to understand — especially when every second counts.

The H20 spotting isn’t just about the Sea - it is about noticing the details that keep everything running safely. The Hammar H20 HRU for liferaft is a small but critical component designed to work when it truly counts.

Don’t forget to wear your lifejacket!

👉🏻Did you know? According to the World Health Organization, drowning is one of the top causes of unintentional injury deaths worldwide. Many of these tragedies could be prevented by simply wearing a life jacket.

Even strong swimmers can get into trouble—unexpected weather, cold water shock, or an accident can happen fast. A lifejacket buys you the time you might not otherwise have.
