Ensure your inflatable liferaft is fully inspected, compliant, and ready for emergency deployment when lives depend on it.
Liferaft Services We Provide
Scope of Liferaft Inspection & Servicing
Our liferaft servicing follows manufacturer procedures and international marine safety practices to ensure the equipment remains compliant, reliable, and ready for emergency deployment.
• Opening of liferaft container and external inspection
• Controlled inflation and pressure testing of buoyancy chambers
• Inspection of canopy, floor, seams, and structural components
• Verification of emergency equipment inventory
• CO₂ cylinder weight check and valve condition inspection
• HRU (Hydrostatic Release Unit) inspection (if fitted)
• Identification of damaged or worn components
• Repacking, vacuum sealing, and securing of liferaft
• Service labeling and documentation update
Age-Related Liferaft Testing (When Required)
Additional inspections and pressure tests are required based on liferaft age and manufacturer guidelines. These tests are performed during servicing when due and are not separate service types.
• Gas inflation test (typically at 5-year intervals)
• Floor seam / NAP (Non-Airtight Panel) strength test (from 10th year onward, brand dependent)
• CO₂ cylinder hydrostatic testing and recharge (interval based)
• Replacement of time-expired emergency equipment
Actual testing intervals depend on liferaft brand and manufacturer requirements.

Service Location & Certification
Service Location
All liferaft inspection and servicing are carried out at our dedicated service station.
We do not perform liferaft servicing onboard vessels or at jetty locations.
This ensures controlled testing conditions, accurate pressure testing, and full compliance with manufacturer servicing procedures.
Certification Provided
After successful servicing and inspection, we issue:
• In-House Service Certificate
• Detailed Service Report outlining inspection findings and work performed
All certification is issued in accordance with our approved servicing procedures and documented inspection records.
Manufacturer or maker-endorsed certification can be arranged upon request, subject to brand approval and additional charges.
