A seaman wears a new Norwegian garment for seamen and offshore oil industry workers. It will replace the traditional boiler suit, oilskins and life-jacket outfit as it provides warmth, protection and buoyancy. If a seaman falls overboard he will float and will live for three hours in water as cold as 5 degrees C. The new suit has been approved by the Norwegian Research Institute for Fisheries Technology.
