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.

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.

Evacuation Systems Marine Evacuation System deployed on a vessel

Marine Evacuation System (MES)

Inspection, deployment testing, and certified servicing of inflatable chutes, slides, and life raft capacity modules for rapid vessel evacuation.

Rescue Crafts Fast Rescue Boat in operational deployment

Fast Rescue Boat (FRB)

Inspection service and recertification of hull integrity, outboard/inboard engine performance, launching davits, and emergency release mechanisms for fast rescue boats.

Evacuation Systems Free fall lifeboat during release test

Free Fall Lifeboat

Comprehensive inspection, load testing, release hook maintenance, and recertification of free-fall lifeboats and dedicated hydraulic launching systems.

Inspection Marine Evacuation System deployed on a vessel

Inspection service and recertification

Inspection service and recertification of inflatable chutes, slides, and life raft capacity modules for rapid vessel evacuation.

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.
