New lifeboats, fast rescue craft and davits

Survival Craft Inspectorate manufactures a large range of lifeboats, FRC and davits. All are class approved and fully conform to SOLAS requirements. Specialist teams of engineers are available for installation and commissioning of new boats and davits.

SOLAS 1983/96 and EC-approved boats and equipment

All boats and equipment have been approved in accordance with SOLAS 1983/96 and subsequent amendments and are EC labelled in accordance with the Marine Equipment Directive.

Lifeboat on-load release mechanisms

Failure of on-load release mechanisms has been identified as a major factor in lifeboat incidents and accidents.

Survival Craft Inspectorate has studied these failures and developed an on-load release mechanism with advanced safety features. This includes a locking pin system that secures the on-load release mechanism during lifeboat drills and maintenance inspections. These mechanisms can be retrofitted to existing systems by our specialist team of installation engineers.

Survival Craft Inspectorate also offers consultancy services on SOLAS, IMO directives, lifeboat incident and accident investigations and training requirements. This includes review of maintenance strategies, lifeboat-launching procedures and the provision of lifeboat training sessions on-board client vessels.
