Freefall Lifeboat · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
On board passenger ships and cargo vessels, the MDO Rhs.10/3,5 02E.01 is a crucial piece of equipment designed for crew evacuation and safety during emergencies. It features an IMO-approved design through DNV-Approval Finder, ensuring compliance with international standards. Regular maintenance, including weekly engine test runs of at least five minutes, and annual servicing of the release hook mechanism by an approved service provider are critical to prevent failures such as corrosion or blockage in the release hook mechanism, which is a critical safety issue. Other common issues include diesel motor start failure due to lack of regular testing, osmotic blister formation on the GRP hull with prolonged water contact, air supply system valve malfunctions, and aging of safety harnesses and restraints exposed to UV and weather conditions. Spare parts are available through MDO or authorized partners with a lead time of 2-6 weeks, while a five-year thorough examination is recommended for comprehensive maintenance.
