It is important for all rafts to be serviced by trained personnel. This ensures the latest updates and trainingis received. SOLAS Liferafts are required to be serviced annually.
Commercial Liferaft servicing means either a raft on coded MCA vessel or a SOLAS liferaft. This page discusses SOLAS specifically. We organise servicing for the following:
All commercial SOLAS Liferafts servicing annually. The cylinder needs attention every 5 years. We guarantee to service any commercial SOLAS liferaft within 7 days as a maximum. If for any reason that can't be completed, we will issue a free hire raft to the same specification as being serviced.
The raft is pressure tested and a number of checks are completed to ensure the raft complies. The internal pack is checked and items changed where necessery.
The raft is given a full certificate for another year with the manufacturer's stamp.
