Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Free fall lifeboats are a critical component of maritime safety systems designed to ensure rapid and secure evacuation from vessels in distress. Palfinger Marine Safety AS offers the Lifeboats: Free Fall Lifeboats (FF1000D2 US), which comply with SOLAS certification for crew evacuation and safety. These lifeboats are engineered to handle the demanding conditions at sea, ensuring reliable performance when it matters most. Common issues that can arise include critical safety failures such as corrosion or blockage in the release hook mechanism, diesel engine start failures due to lack of regular testing, osmotic blistering in the GRP hull from prolonged water exposure, air supply system valve failures, and aging of safety belts due to UV and weather conditions. To maintain optimal performance, it is essential to conduct a weekly engine test run for at least five minutes, have the release hook serviced annually by an approved provider as per SOLAS MSC.402(96), inspect the GRP hull during docking, and perform a thorough examination every five years. Spare parts for the Lifeboats: Free Fall Lifeboats (FF1000D2 US) are available through Palfinger Marine Safety AS or authorized distribution partners, with lead times ranging from 2 to 6 weeks.
