Inflatable Life Raft (SOLAS-A) · Life Rafts
The HRS-30 crew evacuation life raft by VIKING Life-Saving Equipment Norway AS operates on a technical principle that ensures rapid deployment and immediate floatability. This SOLAS-certified life raft is designed for crew evacuation purposes and is equipped with a hydrostatic release unit (HRU) to automatically inflate the raft when submerged, ensuring quick and safe escape in emergencies. Common failures include issues like expired CO2 bottles due to corrosion or aging, degradation of materials from UV exposure on deck, corrosion or blockage of retrieval lines, and expiration of onboard survival equipment such as flares, water, and provisions. Annual servicing at an approved service station is mandatory, along with replacing the HRU every two years and the entire liferaft after five years to maintain safety standards.
