Inflatable Life Raft (SOLAS-A) · Life Rafts
Regular and thorough maintenance is crucial for the reliable operation of maritime life-saving equipment, such as the Maya-850 MKI Waterjet, manufactured by VIKING Life-Saving Equipment Norway AS. This waterjet is certified to evacuate up to eight persons according to SOLAS regulations. Maintenance includes annual servicing at an approved service station as mandated by SOLAS/MSC.1/Circ.1328, which ensures the unit remains in proper working order. Additionally, it is essential to replace the Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU) at the manufacturer's recommended interval, typically every two years. Common issues that may arise include the HRU expiring, CO2 bottle pressure loss due to corrosion or aging, material degradation from UV exposure on deck, and line blockages or corrosion. Spare parts, including a spare HRU, should be kept on board and serviced only at an approved service station. The overall lifespan of the waterjet requires a liferaft replacement or recertification every five years to maintain its certification and effectiveness.
