Liferaft Servicing and Inspection for Harwich
Regular liferaft servicing is vital to keep your safety equipment ready and compliant with Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) standards. We offer comprehensive servicing options, from essential annual inspections to full servicing packages that include carry-out checks and certification. These services cater to both commercial vessels and leisure craft, ensuring your liferaft is reliable when it matters most.
Meeting MCA Standards with Annual Servicing
To comply with MCA standards, liferafts must be serviced at least once every 1-3 years. This inspection confirms that the raft and its inflation system function correctly and that all safety items are present and in date. Staying current with servicing not only keeps your vessel legal, but also provides peace of mind for everyone on board.
Inspection and Certification Process
Our expert inspectors follow a thorough process to ensure your liferaft meets safety and regulatory requirements:
- Detailed visual examination for damage or wear.
- Testing of inflation and release mechanisms.
- Verification of emergency equipment completeness, condition and in date.
- Certification and logging once all checks are passed.
This rigorous approach protects both your equipment’s integrity and the safety of those who rely on it.
