Inspector Detail
▸
Common issues
- Hydrostatic release unit (HRU) reaching its expiry date without replacement
- Painter line chafe or degradation
- Container cradle and retaining band corrosion
- Quick-release/lashing mechanism seizing from corrosion
- Canister seal deterioration allowing water ingress before service
Inspection checklist
- Container external condition - no dents, corrosion or visible damage
- HRU expiry date check
- Cradle and quick-release/lashing condition
- Painter line attachment and routing check
- Service due date label check
- Launching area clear of obstructions for throw-over deployment
Service intervals
| Annual service at an approved shore station | 12 months, per SOLAS requirement |
| Hydrostatic release unit replacement | every 2 years, standard HRU service life |
| Full raft condition/inflation test at the service station | at each annual service per SOLAS |
| Painter line/lashing inspection | at each annual service and at routine deck rounds |
Typical wear limits
| Painter line condition | renew if chafed, cut or below the SOLAS LSA Code strength requirement for the raft's capacity - confirm against Survitec's service manual |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Critical spares
- Hydrostatic release unit (HRU)
- Painter line
- Cradle lashings/retaining band
Safety
- The HRU is a life-critical item - an expired or incorrectly fitted HRU can prevent automatic float-free release in a sinking
- Liferaft servicing and repacking must only be carried out by an approved service station - never open or repack the container onboard
- The inflation cylinder is under pressure - mishandling during service risks injury
- Throw-over launch needs clear deck space and trained crew to avoid injury during deployment
Class survey
Checked at the annual safety equipment survey - class verifies the service due date, HRU expiry, correct capacity/type for the vessel's LSA arrangement, and a valid service station certificate; an overdue liferaft service is a common detention-level deficiency.
