Inflatable Life Raft (SOLAS-A) · Life Rafts
Regular maintenance and timely servicing are crucial for ensuring the reliability and safety of maritime life-saving equipment. VIKING Life-Saving Equipment Norway AS’s NDA-16 is designed to meet SOLAS certification standards for crew evacuation, providing a persons capacity as specified by the regulation. The NDA-16 is approved by DNV and requires annual servicing at an approved service station to maintain compliance with SOLAS/MSC.1/Circ.1328 guidelines. Common issues include the expiration of the hydrostatic release unit (HRU), pressure loss in CO2 bottles due to corrosion or aging, material degradation from UV exposure, and blockages in the retrieval lines. Spare parts, particularly the HRU, must be kept on board, and it should be replaced at the manufacturer's specified interval, typically every two years. Additionally, the liferaft itself must be replaced or recertified every five years to ensure continued safety and effectiveness.
