Inflatable Life Raft (SOLAS-A) · Life Rafts
Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the reliability and safety of crew evacuation systems on board vessels. Survitec Group Ltd's Marine evacuation system using single track slide and open reversible liferafts (ESS ORL 302) is designed with SOLAS certification for optimal performance during critical situations. To maintain its integrity, the system requires annual servicing at an approved service station, as mandated by SOLAS/MSC.1/Circ.1328. Common failures include issues such as a hydrostatic release unit (HRU) that has expired, which is a critical safety concern, CO2 bottle pressure loss due to corrosion or aging, material degradation from UV exposure on deck, and corroded or blocked retrieval lines. Additionally, survival equipment like flares, water, and provisions must be replaced before their expiration dates. To ensure continuous operation, it is essential to keep a spare HRU on board and replace it at the manufacturer's recommended interval, typically every two years. The liferafts themselves should be recertified or replaced every five years. Survitec Group Ltd emphasizes that servicing can only be conducted at an approved service station, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance for the Marine evacuation system using single track slide and open reversible liferafts (ESS ORL 302).
