To ensure maximum reliability, we use extended checklists and certified test equipment for release gears, lifeboats, and launching appliances. As a result, we guarantee the highest levels of safety for both passengers and crew.
The five-yearly inspection is a comprehensive service assessment of lifeboat and davit systems. It can be performed either at a shipyard or directly at offshore locations, depending on your convenience.
