Inflatable Life Raft (SOLAS-A) · Life Rafts
Regular maintenance and timely replacement of critical components are essential to ensure the reliability and safety of your crew evacuation system. VIKING Life-Saving Equipment Norway AS’s NDA-65 & NDA-65 NO models are designed for medium capacity SOLAS-certified crew evacuation, but they require rigorous upkeep to remain effective. Common failures include an expired hydrostatic release unit (HRU), a critical safety issue, as well as pressure loss in the CO2 bottle due to corrosion or aging. Exposure to UV light can degrade materials, and fangle lines may suffer from corrosion or blockage. Additionally, survival equipment such as flares, water, and provisions must be replaced when they expire. To maintain compliance and ensure your crew's safety, VIKING recommends annual servicing at an approved service station. This includes mandatory HRU replacement at the manufacturer’s interval, typically every two years, and liferaft recertification or replacement every five years. Keeping a spare HRU on board is also advised to avoid critical downtime.
