Inflatable Life Raft (SOLAS-A) · Life Rafts
Designed to provide rapid and safe deployment in emergency situations, the Type "SURVIVA Mk3" 6, 6-person SOLAS A or SOLAS B inflatable liferaft by Survitec Group Ltd is a critical component of crew evacuation systems. This liferaft is certified to carry up to six persons as per SOLAS standards, ensuring that all occupants are protected and supported in the event of an emergency at sea. The hydrostatic release unit (HRU) is a key safety feature, but it must be replaced at the manufacturer’s specified interval, typically every two years, to prevent critical safety failures. Additionally, common issues such as CO2 bottle pressure loss due to corrosion or aging and fabric degradation from UV exposure on deck can compromise the raft’s integrity. It is essential to keep an HRU on board and perform annual servicing at an approved service station, as mandated by SOLAS/MSC.1/Circ.1328. The survival equipment, including flares, water, and provisions, must also be regularly checked and replaced when necessary. To maintain the liferaft’s reliability, it should undergo replacement or recertification every five years. The Type "SURVIVA Mk3" 6 ensures that all these requirements are met to provide maximum safety and functionality in critical situations.
