Marine Solas Approved GRP Free Fall Lifeboat with Davit Lifesaving Equipment
SOLAS GRP Free Fall Lifeboat With Launching Appliance has been designed and manufactured in according with "International Life-Saving appliance code" and it amendment MSC.218(82)/MSC.272(85) and tested according to MSC.81(70) and its amendment MSC.226(82)/MSC.274(85).
The lifeboat slides on the tilt frame through gravity and then falls freely into the water without any external assistance.
The optimized design of the exterior shape of the boat and the strength of the GRP shell not only ensures the strength requirements when the bow of the boat enters the water, but also prevents the occupants from causing unbearable impact.
Free-fall lifeboats have the advantage of being lowered quickly and can quickly transfer people to a safe area when the ship encounters an emergency, such as fire or sinking.
Free fall lifeboat davit
The davit can freely land the lifeboat in the water in emergency situations, that is, when the ship is in severe working conditions with a transverse tilt of 20° and a longitudinal tilt of 10°.
In addition, you can also rely on hydraulic driving force, use the oil cylinder to push the davit to push the lifeboat outboard, and rely on gravity to lower the lifeboat into the water.
The methods and precautions for using a drop lifeboat may vary under different climate conditions. Here are some key points to ensure safe and effective use of throwaway lifeboats in different climates:
Low temperature environment
In low temperature environments, the lifeboat's engine may have difficulty starting due to reduced battery capacity or fuel grade issues. Therefore, special attention needs to be paid to checking and maintaining the battery to ensure that its capacity and voltage are normal, and when necessary, replacing fuel that meets environmental requirements.
Hot environment
In a hot environment, some parts of the lifeboat may be aged or damaged due to high temperatures. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the inspection and maintenance of lifeboats to ensure that all equipment and components are in good condition.
Rain and snow weather
In rainy and snowy weather, the deck of the lifeboat may be slippery, making operation more difficult. Therefore, crew members are required to be more careful when operating, wear appropriate non-slip shoes, and take anti-slip measures when necessary.
Windy weather
In windy weather, the lifeboat may be affected by wind and waves, increasing its operational and stability challenges. Therefore, the crew needs to be more focused during operation, ensure the stability of the lifeboat, and seek help when necessary.
