Freefall Lifeboat · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew members, engineers, and operators on board ships rely heavily on equipment like the MDO Glp.MP.140 W 20 L for safe evacuation and safety purposes during emergencies. This SOLAS-certified crew evacuation lifeboat has been approved by DNV and comes with a robust design, ensuring reliable operation in critical situations. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent common failures such as corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism, which can be fatal. Engine tests must be conducted weekly for at least five minutes, while annual servicing of the release hook is required by an approved service provider to meet SOLAS MSC.402(96) standards. Additionally, the GRP hull should undergo inspection during docking, and a comprehensive examination every five years ensures continued safety and reliability on board.
