Inflatable Life Raft (SOLAS-A) · Life Rafts
Shanghai Rongsheng RS SOLAS 16P is identified in the source list as a inflatable life raft (solas-a). It is stowed on deck at an approved survival-craft station in a container, cradle, valise or launching arrangement appropriate to the raft type. Its purpose is to provide emergency flotation, shelter and survival equipment for persons abandoning the vessel. The source record provides the existing record note 'Life Rafts'. The category identifies the raft arrangement, while approved capacity, equipment pack, launching method and servicing requirements are specific to the certified unit. The exact model designation distinguishes approved capacity, launching method and equipment pack from neighboring life-raft variants; refer to the raft certificate and manufacturer documentation for the exact figures.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Inspect external condition, securing, painter arrangement, cradle and launching access without opening a sealed raft that requires approved shore servicing. Check service and release-unit dates and verify identification and capacity markings remain legible. Inspect davit hooks or lifting points where the raft is designed for davit launching. Keep embarkation and launching areas clear and ensure operating instructions are available. Any sealed-container opening, inflation-system work or internal equipment inspection should follow the approved service-station regime. Refer to the certificate, manufacturer instructions and statutory requirements for exact service intervals and replacement criteria.
Onboard spares are normally limited to approved securing items, release units where permitted, signage and launching-arrangement consumables rather than internal raft components. Internal survival equipment, cylinders, valves and fabric repairs belong within the approved servicing system. Use only parts and service stations accepted for the certified raft.
