Inflatable Life Raft (SOLAS-A) · Life Rafts
Crew evacuation systems are critical components on any vessel navigating international waters, ensuring the safety and survival of all onboard in the event of an emergency. Canopied reversible liferafts - 158 persons canopied reversible inflatable liferaft (MARIN ARK II Liferaft) are designed to meet the stringent requirements of SOLAS certification, providing a reliable means of evacuation for crew members. These liferafts are equipped with a hydrostatic release unit (HRU), which is crucial for automatic deployment in the event of an emergency but requires timely replacement every two years to ensure functionality. Common failures include issues such as CO2 bottle pressure loss due to corrosion or aging, material degradation from UV exposure, and the expiration of survival equipment like flares, water, and rations. To maintain optimal performance and safety, it is essential to adhere to the annual servicing mandate at an approved service station, as required by SOLAS/MSC.1/Circ.1328. Additionally, the HRU must be kept on board for immediate replacement during servicing, and the entire liferaft should be replaced or recertified every five years. Canopied reversible liferafts - 158 persons canopied reversible inflatable liferaft (MARIN ARK II Liferaft) are a vital part of any ship's safety protocol, ensuring that crew members have a reliable and safe means of escape in the most critical situations.
