Freefall Lifeboat · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Norsafe / Survitec Norsafe GP-6P is a freefall lifeboat. It is mounted in an inclined launching structure, normally at the stern or another approved position that provides a clear free-fall launching path. Its purpose is to provide enclosed survival craft and rapid abandonment capability by releasing the occupied boat from its launch ramp. The boat, release mechanism, launch ramp, recovery equipment and onboard engine form a certified system and must be maintained as an integrated installation. The exact model designation distinguishes approved occupancy, hull configuration, engine and launching arrangement from neighboring lifeboats; refer to the certificate for the exact figures.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Inspect the boat hull, seating, restraints, release system, launch ramp, recovery equipment, engine and emergency equipment in accordance with the approved maintenance plan. Function-test the release and recovery arrangements only using authorized procedures and safety precautions. Maintain engine fuel, batteries and starting readiness and run the engine as required by the vessel's maintenance system. Inspect wire ropes, hooks, pins and structural attachments for corrosion, wear and damage. Keep the launch path clear and verify all securing arrangements are correctly restored after drills. Refer to manufacturer, class and statutory documentation for exact inspection intervals, load tests and release-system servicing.
Keep engine service items, batteries or charging components, approved release-system consumables, seals, lamps and selected recovery-winch or control parts recommended by the manufacturer. Structural and release-hook components must remain within the certified system and should not be substituted. Confirm all spares against the lifeboat and launching-appliance documentation.
