Freefall Lifeboat · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
The SAFC-25 falls under the category of marine evacuation equipment designed for crew safety and emergency evacuation. It is manufactured by Zhenjiang Marine Auxiliary Machinery Works and is certified to carry persons in accordance with SOLAS regulations. The SAFC-25 features an IMO-approved design and has received DNV approval, ensuring compliance with stringent maritime safety standards. The equipment includes a diesel engine and a GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) hull, making it durable yet lightweight for efficient evacuation scenarios. Common issues that may arise with the SAFC-25 include corrosion and blockage of the release hook mechanism, failure of the diesel engine due to inadequate testing, and osmotic blistering in the GRP hull after prolonged water contact. Additionally, failure of the air supply system valve and aging of safety belts and harnesses due to UV exposure and weathering are noted as potential problems. Spare parts for the SAFC-25 are available through Zhenjiang Marine Auxiliary Machinery Works or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time ranging from 2 to 6 weeks. Regular maintenance is crucial, including weekly engine tests for at least 5 minutes and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider. The GRP hull should be inspected at every docking, and a thorough examination should be conducted every five years to ensure continued safety and reliability.
