Crew members and operators aboard vessels rely on dependable safety equipment to ensure their survival in emergency situations. One such critical piece of equipment is the Inflatable Liferaft - 12 person, 16 person, 20 person, 25 person davit launched canopied Surviva MkIV inflatable liferaft hull, packaged for extended service intervals. (RFD Endura R’ (also known as ‘Survitec ESR’, ‘DSB LR07E’, ‘Survitec Zodiac ESP’, ‘Crewsaver ESR’ & ‘Elliot ESR’)). This liferaft is certified to SOLAS standards and designed for crew evacuation, providing a reliable means of escape in the event of an emergency. Common failures include the expiration of the hydrostatic release unit (HRU), which is a critical safety issue, as well as pressure loss in CO2 bottles due to corrosion or aging. UV exposure can also cause fabric degradation, while fangle line corrosion and blockage pose additional risks. Essential survival equipment such as flares, water, and provisions must be replaced before they expire. To maintain the integrity and reliability of the Inflatable Liferaft - 12 person, 16 person, 20 person, 25 person davit launched canopied Surviva MkIV inflatable liferaft hull, it is imperative to service the unit annually at an approved SURVITEC GROUP LIMITED station.
