Freefall Lifeboat · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
The Shigi SF-70 is a 70‑person free‑fall lifeboat that launches by gravity from a dedicated well, providing rapid crew evacuation for very large vessels. As a Freefall Lifeboat, it is normally installed at an assigned embarkation and launching station with its approved davit, release gear or free-fall arrangement. In that role, its primary purpose is to provide evacuation or rescue capability during abandonment and emergency response. Totally enclosed, free-fall and rescue-boat designs differ in launching arrangement and operating role, while exact capacity, speed and release details remain those in the approved documentation. Capacity: 70 persons. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
