Freefall Lifeboat · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Rigorous weekly maintenance and thorough five-year examinations ensure the continued reliability of the MDO Rms.L.11/4,0 02E.02. This crew evacuation and safety device boasts DNV approval, as confirmed by the DNV approval finder, and carries the IMO approval designation 1495999 Lux. While designed for the demanding marine environment, potential common failures include corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel motor start failure due to inadequate testing, osmotic blistering of the GRP hull from prolonged water contact, air supply system valve failure, and aging of safety harnesses and gear due to UV exposure and weathering. Spare parts are available through MDO or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks. Service recommendations include a weekly engine test run of at least five minutes, annual servicing of the release hook by an approved provider in accordance with SOLAS MSC.402(96), and a GRP hull inspection at each docking.
