Freefall Lifeboat · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
The Fassmer FFB-65P is a freefall lifeboat. It is normally installed at an aft or inclined freefall station with approved launch ramp. It is designed for rapid collective abandonment by gravity launch clear of the vessel. The operating principle relies on enclosed survival craft released down a vessel-specific ramp with occupants restrained. Compared with neighbouring models, the relevant differences are certified capacity, launch geometry, hull structure, ramp and recovery arrangement; these must be confirmed from the installed documentation rather than inferred from the model designation alone. Service and survey attention should concentrate on hull, seats/restraints, release system, engine, steering, ramp, securing and recovery gear. For exact ratings, dimensions, tolerances, test limits and model-specific settings, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Inspect external structure/container, stowage and securing, engine/steering where fitted, hooks/release/launch interfaces and all accessible safety equipment. Verify service dates, markings, approved occupancy/capacity and compatibility with the assigned launching appliance. Internal liferaft servicing and critical release-gear work should be performed only under approved procedures.
Carry engine service parts for powered craft, approved batteries/charging items, steering/control components, seals and manufacturer-approved hook/release parts where onboard replacement is permitted. For liferafts, keep only approved external release/lashing components and arrange authorized service/exchange units before due dates.
