Rescue equipment

Marine Rescue Equipment

Rescue equipment comprises systems for rescuing personnel from sinking vessels or overboard situations. This includes rescue devices and their mounting/launch mechanisms, categorized as:

• Collective: lifeboats, liferafts, rescue platforms
• Individual: lifebuoys, buoyancy aids, lifejackets

SBS supplies comprehensive marine life-saving systems for both categories.

Technical Features

Lifeboats/liferafts feature:

• Manual/mechanical propulsion
• Emergency rations
• Day/night signaling equipment
• Fuel/oil fire protection

Materials ensure buoyancy retention during extended immersion and significant damage. Deck mounting systems protect equipment from storm damage while enabling efficient water deployment or automatic release upon vessel submersion.

Key equipment types

1. Lifeboats

• Buoyancy: sealed foam-filled air tanks.
• Colors: orange/white exterior; bright orange interior.
• Markings: hull displays capacity, dimensions, registration; roof shows vessel name/call sign.
• Variants:
  • Closed-type with rigid superstructure.
  • Fire-resistant/water-spray protected models.
  • Freefall or davit-launched configurations.

2. Davits

Launch systems consisting of:

• Boom arms
• Support structures
• Fall wires
• Winch mechanisms

Types:

• Gravity Davits: Utilize boat weight for deployment (ice vulnerability)
• Pivot Davits: Gear-operated swinging arms (space-intensive)
• Quadrant Davits: Compact solutions for limited deck space

3. Fast Rescue Boats (FRBs)

Hybrid rescue/work boats with rapid storm deployment capabilities.
