Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.
Covered by LSA (Lifesaving Appliances) survey requirements: annual thorough examination and 5-yearly overhaul/load test of the release gear, with certificates from the approved service provider kept in the ship's LSA maintenance file. Note: available source data for this entry is limited - verify make/model-specific details against the vessel's own equipment manual before relying on them operationally.
Estimated lifetime: Not meaningfully expressed in running hours; SOLAS free-fall lifeboats of this class are typically given a design service life in the order of 20-25 years, subject to annual and 5-yearly servicing - confirm against the vessel's LSA maintenance record and the equipment's own type approval documentation.
