Liferafts are essential for maritime safety. They protect passengers and crew during emergencies, but constant exposure to harsh conditions—extreme temperatures, rough seas, and unpredictable weather—can reduce their effectiveness over time.

Why Liferaft Maintenance Is Crucial

Temperature fluctuations and accumulated moisture can wear down liferaft materials. For vessel owners and marine operators, maintaining a liferaft is not only a regulatory requirement; it is also a crucial step to ensure safety.

Refurbished or used liferafts, when serviced properly, provide a reliable and cost-effective solution. Regular maintenance helps you:

• Ensure peak performance during emergencies
• Increase durability against harsh marine conditions
• Maintain compliance with SOLAS and IMO regulations
• Extend the liferaft’s lifespan, reducing replacement costs

Approved Liferaft Servicing Facilities

To guarantee safety, authorities require that all inflatable liferafts and buoyant apparatus undergo regular servicing at approved facilities. Certified technicians inspect, repair, and repack liferafts to ensure they remain fully functional.

Moreover, professional servicing ensures that every liferaft—whether new, used, or refurbished—performs reliably when lives depend on it.

Choosing the Right Refurbished Liferaft

Selecting a refurbished liferaft can help shipowners balance safety and budget. To make the right choice, confirm that the liferaft:

• Meets international safety certifications
• Is serviced by authorized marine safety professionals
• Comes with a valid inspection certificate

By following these steps, marine operators can confidently equip their vessels with liferafts ready to perform in emergencies.
