Simplex 2.0i

The Hatecke Simplex 2.0i is designed to ensure rapid and safe evacuation of personnel in maritime emergencies, adhering to strict SOLAS certification standards for crew safety. This device features an IMO-approved design, with a model number of MEDB00006TD, as verified by DNV. The Simplex 2.0i is equipped with a diesel engine and a GRP hull, offering a robust and reliable solution for crew evacuation. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent common issues such as corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel motor start failure due to infrequent testing, osmotic blister formation in the hull from prolonged water contact, and air supply system valve failure. Spare parts for the Simplex 2.0i are available through Hatecke GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. To maintain optimal performance, it is recommended to conduct a weekly engine test run for at least five minutes and to have the release hook serviced annually by an approved service provider in accordance with SOLAS MSC.402(96). Additionally, regular inspections of the GRP hull should be conducted at each docking, and a thorough examination every five years ensures the longevity and reliability of the device.
