Non-davit free-fall survival systems,
sliding ramp

This system has been designed for installing onboard the sea-going vessels, of unrestricted navigation region, which are equipped with a deck crane enabling the lifeboat to be launched in case the freefall launching is unrealisable. The system offers possibility of freefall launching of the lifeboat loaded with a complete set of passengers even at a vessel's list up to 20^o either way and/or trim up to 10^o and remains operable at ambient temperature within the range from -30^oC up to +65^oC.

All components of the system comply with requirements of SOLAS 74 Convention - Consolidated Edition of 1992, IMO Resolution A.689/17 and requirements of particular classification societies as BV, DMA, DNV, GL, LR, MRS, MSA, PRS, SBG.

The complete Non-Davit Freefall Survival System consists of a freefall lifeboat, launching ramp and necessary rigging. With lashings removed and releasing pin unlocked the boat runs down the ramp and freefalls into the water. In case of sinking of vessel the boat will be released automatically, due to the hydrostatic releasing devices. Metal surfaces of the system components are protected with marine rust inhibiting paints.
