Inflatable Life Raft (SOLAS-A) · Life Rafts
The E-60 is a crew evacuation life raft designed to meet the capacity requirements as specified by SOLAS certification. Manufactured by VIKING Life-Saving Equipment Norway AS, this model is designed to provide a safe and reliable means of escape for personnel in maritime emergencies. The E-60 is certified through DNV approval, ensuring compliance with stringent safety standards. However, the device is susceptible to several common failures, including issues with the hydrostatic release unit (HRU) expiration, CO2 bottle pressure loss due to corrosion or aging, material degradation from UV exposure, and line corrosion or blockage. Additionally, the onboard survival equipment can expire over time. Maintenance of the E-60 is critical, with servicing required annually at an approved service station as mandated by SOLAS and MSC.1/Circ.1328 regulations. It is important to note that the HRU should be replaced at intervals specified by the manufacturer, typically every two years, and the life raft itself should undergo replacement or recertification every five years.
