Life Jacket · Life Jackets & MOB Equipment
Onboard vessels, safety is paramount, and ensuring that crew members have access to reliable personal flotation devices is a critical aspect of maritime operations. The Inherently Buoyant Lifejacket (Premier 2010 Child) is designed for SOLAS certification and is specifically tailored for crew evacuation scenarios. This lifejacket meets the stringent UK MCA standards, providing dependable buoyancy in emergency situations. Exposure to UV light on deck can also lead to material degradation, while fangleine corrosion or blockage and the expiration of survival equipment such as flares, water, and provisions are additional concerns. To maintain the integrity and reliability of the Inherently Buoyant Lifejacket (Premier 2010 Child), it is essential to adhere to a strict maintenance schedule. Annual servicing at an approved service station is mandatory, as per SOLAS/MSC.1/Circ.1328 guidelines. This includes replacing the HRU at the manufacturer's recommended interval, typically every two years, and recertifying or replacing the liferaft every five years.
What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
A child-sized inherently buoyant jacket carries no cylinder and no inflator, so it needs the monthly SOLAS III/20 inspection rather than a pressurised annual service. Check the buoyancy material for compression, hardening and oil saturation, the cover and straps for tears and open stitching, work the buckles, confirm tape and whistle, and test the light and read its expiry date. The size-specific part of the check is stowage: child jackets have to be where children will muster and in the number the passenger arrangement requires, and this is the deficiency found far more often than a material fault.
Little on this jacket is a spare part. The buoyancy material cannot be renewed: if the foam is compressed, hardened or oil-soaked, the jacket is condemned. What is kept in stock are the fitted items - the lifejacket light, which is replaced at the battery expiry date marked on it, the whistle, retro-reflective tape and the body strap with its buckle. Covers and straps are replaced rather than sewn, because restitching the cover disturbs the approved assembly. Plan stock around the lights: they expire on a date, not on use, so a ship with a full outfit replaces a whole batch at once. With child jackets the stock question is sizes, not parts: hold whole jackets against the passenger arrangement, because a child jacket cannot be made from an adult one and a shortfall cannot be covered from general stores.
