Inflatable Life Raft (SOLAS-A) · Life Rafts
A critical component of maritime safety, the vertical chute gravity deployed marine evacuation system with the direct access liferafts (Marin Ark Mk1) by Survitec Group Ltd ensures reliable and efficient crew evacuation in emergencies. This system is designed to meet SOLAS certification standards for medium-capacity crew evacuation. Common issues that can arise include a critical safety error from an expired hydrostatic release unit (HRU), pressure loss in the CO2 bottle due to corrosion or aging, material degradation from UV exposure on deck, and corrosion or blockage of the retrieval line. Additionally, survival equipment such as flares, water, and rations may expire over time. To maintain optimal performance, Survitec Group Ltd emphasizes that servicing must be conducted at an approved service station annually. An HRU should always be kept on board, and liferafts require replacement or recertification every five years. The vertical chute gravity deployed marine evacuation system with the direct access liferafts (Marin Ark Mk1) is a vital safety asset, ensuring that crew members can evacuate safely in the most challenging maritime conditions.
