Freefall Lifeboat · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Regular weekly engine tests are crucial for maintaining the FFH 77's diesel motor and ensuring reliable operation. The release hook mechanism must be serviced annually to prevent critical safety failures due to corrosion or blockage. Other common issues include start-up problems from infrequent testing, osmotic blister formation in the GFK hull after extended water contact, failure of the ventilation system, and deterioration of safety harnesses over time due to UV exposure and weathering. Proper maintenance, involving service by an approved provider, inspection of the GRP hull during docking, and a comprehensive five-year examination, is essential for this SOLAS-certified crew evacuation vessel.
