Open Reversible Life Raft · Life Rafts
This Survitec 50-person open reversible inflatable liferaft is a SOLAS A rated survival craft supplied in a high-speed craft (HSC) pack. Being open reversible, it floats and can be used with either side up, and it is stowed in a container on deck and launched by throwing overboard or using a float-free arrangement. It is listed with SOLAS A and IMO type approval and provides buoyant refuge for 50 people after abandoning ship.
What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Liferafts must be serviced at an approved service station at the required intervals, including inflation test, pressure holding check and renewal of the equipment pack. Surveyors check stowage and securing arrangements, hydrostatic release unit validity, markings, painter attachment and the certificate of service.
| Annual service at an approved liferaft service station | mandatory per SOLAS, typically every 12 months, or per any flag state extension allowance |
|---|---|
| Hydrostatic release unit renewal | per the HRU's own marked service life, commonly around 2 years for hydrostatic-type units - always check the fitted unit's marking, do not assume |
| CO2 cylinder weighing/inspection | at each annual service |
Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.
As a SOLAS life-saving appliance, this is subject to annual service by an approved station and to class/flag survey of the certificate and stowage arrangement. Class checks the service station report, HRU expiry, and davit/launch appliance condition rather than performing any internal inspection of the raft itself.
Estimated lifetime: Liferaft fabric and container service life is normally stated in years rather than running hours - typically a 10-12 year design life before class/maker review of further service, subject to condition confirmed at each annual inspection.
Keep spare hydrostatic release units and spare lashings or securing parts as permitted. Raft contents and gas cylinders are handled by the approved service station. Maintain the service records and labels for each raft.
