Inflatable Life Raft (SOLAS-A) · Life Rafts
Crew members, engineers, and operators on board ships rely heavily on evacuation equipment to ensure safety during emergencies. Viking Life-Saving Equipment Norway AS manufactures the Miriam-85 MKI, specifically designed for crew evacuation. This liferaft is SOLAS-certified with a capacity of 21 persons, meeting international maritime safety standards. Common failures include issues like a hydrostatic release unit (HRU) failure, which can be critical; CO2 bottle pressure loss due to corrosion or aging; material degradation from UV exposure on deck; rope line corrosion or blockage; and expiration of survival equipment such as flares, water, and provisions. Regular maintenance is essential: annual servicing at an approved service station is mandatory, with HRU replacement every two years, and the entire liferaft needs to be replaced or recertified every five years.
