Marine Life-Saving
Equipment

Supply, inspection, servicing and certification of lifeboats, inflatable liferafts, life jackets and locating aids — keeping every embarkation station on your vessel or platform ready to launch, and every crew member accounted for, within SOLAS timeframes.

SOLAS Chapter III IMO LSA Code ISO 12402 MSC.1/Circ.1206/Rev.1
Overview

Every survival craft accounted for, every time

Marine and offshore assets live or die on the readiness of their life-saving appliances. We supply, install and maintain the full inventory an inspector will check at muster: lifeboats and TEMPSC survival craft, davit and free-fall launch systems, inflatable liferafts, SOLAS life jackets, lifebuoys, EPIRBs and SARTs — backed by dated, photo-verified digital records for every unit.

Our marine technicians work to the annual and five-year service intervals set out in SOLAS Chapter III and the IMO LSA Code, so your Safety Equipment Certificate stays current and your crew never has to guess whether a raft will inflate when it matters.

  • Lifeboat & liferaft annual servicing and 5-year overhaul
  • Davit, winch and hydrostatic release unit function testing
  • Life jacket, lifebuoy and light inventory audits
  • EPIRB & SART battery replacement and beacon testing

What We Cover

Life-saving equipment, by station

From the embarkation deck to the muster list — the four categories our technicians service most.

Survival Craft Totally enclosed lifeboat (TEMPSC)

Lifeboats & TEMPSC

Totally enclosed motor-propelled survival craft for platforms and tankers, plus conventional and free-fall lifeboats — davit function tests, engine trials and hull inspection.

Survival Craft Inflatable liferaft deployed on water

Inflatable Liferafts

Davit-launched and throw-overboard liferafts, repacked and pressure-tested at certified stations, with hydrostatic release units serviced to manufacturer intervals.

Personal LSA Rows of SOLAS-approved life jackets

Life Jackets & Immersion Suits

SOLAS and ISO 12402 approved life jackets, work vests and thermal immersion suits — inventory counts, light and whistle checks, and light-strobe replacement.

Locating Aids Lifebuoy ring mounted on a vessel railing

Lifebuoys, EPIRB & SART

Lifebuoys with self-igniting lights and buoyant lines, plus EPIRB and SART beacon testing and battery replacement to keep distress signalling ready.

How We Work

Inspection & certification, in four steps

A fixed sequence every vessel or platform goes through, from first survey to signed certificate.

01

Site Survey & Muster Audit

We map every embarkation station against the ship's safety equipment plan and flag gaps before work begins.

02

Function & Load Testing

Davits, winches, release hooks and engines are load-tested; liferafts are inflated and pressure-checked off-vessel.

03

Servicing & Recharge

Hydrostatic release units, CO₂ cylinders, EPIRB batteries and light strobes are replaced to manufacturer schedules.

04

Certification & Digital Record

Every unit is tagged, dated and photographed, with a digital certificate issued for your Safety Equipment Certificate file.
