Inflatable Life Raft (SOLAS-A) · Life Rafts
Crew evacuation systems are crucial for ensuring the safety of personnel on board vessels during emergencies. Certified to SOLAS standards, the NDA-25 is designed to provide reliable and rapid crew evacuation. This system undergoes rigorous testing and meets DNV approval specifications, ensuring it adheres to the highest safety standards. Common failures that can compromise the effectiveness of the NDA-25 include an expired hydrostatic release unit (HRU), which is a critical safety issue, CO2 bottle pressure loss due to corrosion or aging, material degradation from UV exposure on deck, and corroded or blocked retrieval lines. Additionally, survival equipment such as flares, water, and provisions can expire, further impacting the system’s readiness. To maintain optimal performance, annual servicing at an approved service station is mandatory, in line with SOLAS/MSC.1/Circ.1328 regulations. It is essential to keep a spare HRU on board and replace it at the manufacturer's recommended interval, typically every two years. The liferaft itself must be replaced or recertified every five years to ensure ongoing compliance and safety.
