Open Reversible Life Raft

medium 50 models total

An open reversible life raft has no canopy and is built symmetrically so it floats and functions the same way up or down, removing the need to right it after inflation, a simplification that trades weather protection and full SOLAS equipment for lower weight, lower cost and fast deployment on smaller craft.

What sets an open reversible raft apart

Most inflatable life rafts have a canopy and a defined top and bottom, and a righting strap is fitted because an inflated raft that lands upside down must be turned over by a survivor in the water. A reversible raft avoids that problem by being symmetrical: the buoyancy tubes and floor are shaped so the raft supports its occupants and stays stable whichever side lands uppermost. Without a canopy there is no weather protection and no space for the full ration and signalling pack fitted to a covered SOLAS raft, so this type is typically used on fishing vessels, workboats and other craft where regulation does not call for a fully equipped SOLAS raft.

Open reversible life raft, cross-section — Cross-section through an open reversible life raft showing the symmetric buoyancy tube and floor that work the same way up or down, perimeter grab lines on both faces, ballast pockets, the inflation cylinder and the sea painter.

Main components

Buoyancy tubes

Two or more superimposed tubular chambers, each independently inflated, so a puncture in one chamber still leaves enough buoyancy to support the rated capacity.

Floor

A single or double skin floor, sometimes without the insulating air pocket used in canopied rafts, since the reversible design keeps cost and weight down.

Inflation system

A CO2 or CO2/nitrogen cylinder triggered by a hydrostatic release unit or a painter line pull, inflating both tube chambers through a common or dual manifold.

Painter line and boarding aids

A painter line for securing the raft to the vessel during launch and for triggering inflation, plus boarding handles or a light boarding ladder along the tube.

Selection and sizing

Rated capacity in persons, driven by the vessel's crew complement plus a margin.
Water temperature and exposure risk on the operating area, since an open raft gives no shelter from wind, spray or sun.
Stowage weight and cradle type, since reversible rafts are often chosen specifically because they are lighter than a canopied equivalent of the same capacity.
Equipment pack level, where regulation allows a reduced pack rather than full SOLAS-A provisioning.

Regulations and class

Open reversible rafts generally fall outside full SOLAS passenger and cargo ship carriage requirements and are instead accepted under fishing vessel safety rules, national small craft regulation or as supplementary equipment. Where fitted in place of a SOLAS raft, flag administration approval is required, since SOLAS Ch. III sets minimum equipment and canopy requirements that this design does not meet. Servicing intervals still apply, typically annual, at a shore station approved for the specific raft manufacturer.

Typical faults

Fault	Consequence
Painter line not secured to a strong point before launch	Raft drifts away empty before survivors can board
Hydrostatic release unit past its expiry date	Raft fails to auto-release if the vessel sinks before manual launch
Chamber puncture from chafing against the stowage cradle	Reduced buoyancy margin, raft settles low with a full load
UV degradation of fabric on rafts stowed in the open	Loss of tensile strength, tube failure under load

What to look for in a supplier

Manufacturer approval covering the specific capacity and pack level required for the vessel's operating area.
A servicing network with a station reachable from the vessel's normal ports of call, since a raft due for service cannot sail.
Clear documentation of what the equipment pack does and does not include, so the crew is not caught assuming SOLAS-level provisioning.
Cradle and hydrostatic release unit compatibility confirmed for the exact raft model, not assumed from a similar type.

Because an open reversible raft has no canopy, briefing new crew that this is a deliberate design choice and not a stripped-down SOLAS raft avoids a dangerous surprise if it is ever needed in cold or exposed conditions.

Fujikura

Fujikura ORR 6P-B unverified

Capacity (persons)

Common Failures & Inspection Points

Container, valise or securing damage caused by weather, impact or poor stowage, resulting in visible deterioration or compromised deployment readiness
Inflation-system leakage or cylinder problems caused by corrosion, seal deterioration or servicing defects, resulting in failed or incomplete inflation
Fabric, seam or valve deterioration caused by age, UV exposure or contamination, resulting in leakage or loss of buoyancy
Hydrostatic-release or weak-link problems where fitted caused by expiry, incorrect installation or corrosion, resulting in unreliable float-free release
Davit or launching-attachment defects where applicable caused by corrosion, wear or incorrect rigging, resulting in difficulty launching the raft safely

Service: Inspect external condition, securing, painter arrangement, cradle and launching access without opening a sealed raft that requires approved shore servicing. Check service and release-unit dates and verify that identification and capacity markings remain legible. Inspect davit hooks or lifting points where the raft is designed for davit launching. Keep embarkation and launching areas clear and ensure operating instructions are available. Any sealed-container opening, inflation-system work or internal equipment inspection should follow the approved service-station regime. Refer to the certificate, manufacturer instructions and statutory requirements for exact service intervals and replacement criteria.

Use Cases: Emergency abandonment and survival on merchant ships, passenger vessels, offshore units and other craft required to carry approved inflatable or reversible life rafts.

Datasheet

Fujikura ORR 10P-B unverified

Capacity (persons)

Common Failures & Inspection Points

Container, securing or hydrostatic-release deterioration can prevent correct automatic or manual deployment
Inflation-system leakage or cylinder problems prevent full inflation and are identified during certified servicing
Fabric, seam or valve deterioration causes pressure loss or water ingress
Painter-line, boarding-ladder or canopy damage delays boarding or reduces survival functionality
Expired or missing emergency-pack contents are detected during service or inspection

Service: Inspect container condition, securing, painter arrangement, hydrostatic release where fitted, markings and accessibility. Do not open a sealed raft outside an approved service station unless the applicable procedure specifically permits it. Verify service status and certificate records. Exact servicing intervals, pressure values and pack contents require approved manufacturer and statutory documentation.

Spare Parts: Onboard support normally consists of approved securing and release hardware; internal raft spares and inflation-system servicing should be handled by an authorized service station.

Use Cases: Emergency abandonment on merchant, passenger, fishing, offshore and service vessels.
