The FFWH 1x50kN-18 is designed to ensure crew safety and evacuation by providing a reliable and robust evacuation system that meets the stringent requirements of SOLAS certification. This system is manufactured by Fassmer Schiffsservice GmbH & Co. KG and is designed to handle the evacuation of personnel in emergencies. It features a diesel motor for power, a GRP (glass reinforced plastic) hull for durability, and a release hook mechanism that is critical for the safe deployment of the evacuation equipment. The system is IMO-approved and has been certified by DNV for compliance with maritime safety standards. Regular maintenance is essential, including weekly engine tests and annual servicing of the release hook mechanism by an approved service provider. Additionally, the GRP hull requires inspection at each docking to prevent osmotic blister formation due to prolonged water contact. Spare parts are available through Fassmer Schiffsservice GmbH & Co. KG or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks.
