The Viking 20DK+ is a SOLAS‑A rated life raft for up to 20 persons, launched from a davit and equipped with a CO2 inflation system. As a SOLAS A Life Raft, it is normally installed in an approved deck cradle, container or davit-launching position where it remains accessible for abandonment. In that role, its primary purpose is to provide buoyant survival accommodation after emergency evacuation. Throw-over, davit-launched and other SOLAS raft variants differ in deployment and emergency pack, so exact capacity and pack details remain in the approved raft documentation. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
