Freefall Lifeboat · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Designed to ensure rapid and safe evacuation of personnel, the FSARR 21/4.0 HS is a robust evacuation raft manufactured by Fassmer Schiffsservice GmbH & Co. KG. Certified according to SOLAS regulations, this raft has a capacity to accommodate multiple persons and is approved by DNV. The raft’s design includes an IMO-approved release hook mechanism, essential for quick and reliable deployment. Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to its operational reliability. Common issues include corrosion and blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel engine start failures due to lack of regular testing, and osmotic blistering in the GRP hull after prolonged water contact. Additionally, the air supply system's valve can fail, and safety harnesses can degrade from UV exposure and weathering. Spare parts are available through Fassmer or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine tests (minimum 5 minutes) and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider are mandatory to comply with SOLAS MSC.402(96) requirements. A comprehensive five-year inspection of the GRP hull is also recommended at each docking.
