It is unlikely for a rocket parachute or hand flare of survival pack to operate on its own without being activated.

1.4 Cargo ships where the horizontal distance from the extreme end of the stem or stern of the ship to the nearest end of the closest survival craft is more than 100 m shall carry, in addition to the liferafts required by paragraphs 1.1.2 and 1.2.2, a liferaft stowed as far forward or aft, or one as far forward and another as far aft, as is reasonable and practicable. Such liferaft or liferafts may be securely fastened so as to permit manual release and need not be of the type which can be launched from an approved launching device.

So for remote liferafts:-
• HRUs are not required.
• Must have means of rapid, easy manual release, while being secured against sea damage.
• Must have sufficient means of embarkation (a knotted lifeline is not acceptable).

These lifeboats shall be of at least for 6 persons capacity since no liferaft shall have a capacity less than 6 people.
