Freefall Lifeboat · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
VIKING Norsafe GES-40 MKII — Freefall lifeboat - Totally enclosed emergency evacuation for ships and offshore installations. As a Freefall Lifeboat, it is normally installed at an assigned embarkation and free-fall launching station with its approved release, securing and recovery arrangements. In that role, its primary purpose is to provide protected emergency evacuation of crew or passengers from the vessel or offshore installation. A free-fall lifeboat differs from conventionally davit-launched craft because it enters the water by gravity along a dedicated launch path, making seating, restraints, release and hull structure especially important. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
