Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Falls wire corrosion or wear, particularly at the drum and sheave contact points
  • On-load release hook mechanism seizing or falling out of adjustment
  • Hydrostatic interlock or hook status indicator malfunction
  • GRP hull gelcoat cracking or crazing from UV and weather exposure
  • Lifeboat engine starting failure from battery neglect or fuel degradation
  • Davit/winch brake wear affecting controlled lowering speed
  • Painter/sea painter line deterioration
  • Canopy or enclosure hatch seal degradation allowing water ingress

Inspection checklist

  • Weekly and monthly visual inspection per SOLAS III requirements (davits, falls, hooks, general condition)
  • Function test of the on-load release gear per the manufacturer's procedure
  • Check falls wire for broken strands, corrosion, or diameter reduction
  • Start and run the lifeboat engine, check cooling water discharge and exhaust
  • Check battery condition and charging system
  • Inspect the hull for cracks, impact damage, or delamination
  • Verify emergency equipment, rations, and water in the boat are in date and correctly stowed
  • Check the painter release mechanism and sea painter condition
  • Confirm the winch brake holds the load without slipping

Service intervals

Weekly operational inspectionweekly per SOLAS III
Monthly detailed inspectionmonthly per SOLAS III/20 and the manufacturer's instructions
Falls renewalper SOLAS/manufacturer's LSA maintenance requirements - falls are typically turned end-for-end and renewed on a fixed calendar schedule, confirm exact intervals against the vessel's LSA maintenance manual and flag state requirements
On-load release gear overhaulper the manufacturer's schedule, aligned with the annual thorough examination and 5-yearly operational test regime under SOLAS III/20 and MSC.1/Circ.1206
Annual thorough examination and operational testannual, carried out by a competent person
Winch dynamic brake testper the SOLAS III/20 5-yearly schedule

Typical wear limits

Falls wire conditionrenew per the wire rope discard criteria in the LSA Code/manufacturer's manual - confirm the exact diameter reduction or broken-wire count against the wire rope certificate rather than a generic figure
Release hook wear at load-bearing surfacesassess using the manufacturer's approved go/no-go gauge or tolerance - do not estimate visually
GRP hull conditionany delamination, cracking through to reinforcement, or impact damage found at inspection should be assessed by a competent person against the builder's repair criteria before the boat is certified fit for service

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Falls wire matched in size and construction to the davit and boat weight - order per the davit manufacturer's specification
  • On-load release gear service kit approved for the fitted hook type
  • Lifeboat engine spares (fuel filter, impeller, starting battery) per the engine manufacturer
  • Hydrostatic interlock unit, if fitted to the release gear
  • Canopy/hatch seals

Safety

  • On-load release gear malfunction is a known cause of serious lifeboat accidents - never bypass interlocks; follow MSC.1/Circ.1206 guidance for maintenance and testing
  • Suspended load hazard during falls/winch work - never work under a suspended lifeboat without secured props/stops
  • Confined space hazard inside the enclosed lifeboat (engine exhaust, limited ventilation) during engine testing
  • Fall-from-height hazard during boarding or inspection - use proper access and fall protection

Class survey

Lifeboats fall under LSA statutory survey (SOLAS III/20) rather than Continuous Survey Machinery. Flag state/class requires an annual thorough examination, a 5-yearly operational test including on-load release under controlled conditions, and a dynamic winch brake test at 5-yearly intervals. Falls renewal dates and release gear overhaul records are checked at each survey.

Estimated lifetime: Not conventionally rated in operating hours. SOLAS lifeboats are typically built for a multi-decade hull service life, but statutory component renewal (falls, release gear overhaul) follows a fixed calendar schedule under SOLAS III/20 and MSC.1/Circ.1206 regardless of actual usage.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we can check availability and prices faster; without them we may have to ask first, which can cost a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
