Survitec group Liferafts

 The RFD Surviva liferaft is manufactured to the highest quality standards, using corrosion and abrasion resistant polyurethane coated textile ensuring maximum durability and longevity. Available in both throw over and davit launch options and approved for storage in a variety of different designed GRP containers, the RFD Surviva range offers customers unparalleled flexibility when utilising space onboard vessels.

Certified to meet all major flag requirements the RFD Surviva liferaft is approved for a max stowage height of up to 46 metres and is additionally supported by an extensive global service station network, helping to ensure your RFD Surviva liferaft will continue to be maintained to the highest standards by full trained and approved service technicians no matter the location.

Built to meet the needs of small passenger vessels, fishing vessels and high speed craft the SurvitecZodiac liferaft is the first choice for many operators. Designed and manufactured out of our highly successful manufacturing facility in Chevanceaux, France, the SurvitecZodiac liferaft is chosen for its advanced design and unique method of construction. Additionally, due to the fabric weight and structure, SurvitecZodiac throw over liferafts are easy to service and fit in light, small sized but strong, glass reinforced containers. The Throw Over option of this raft can be dropped from a height of up to 36 meters and meets all of the required approval standards. 

 The LR07 is the latest MED-approved liferaft from DSB which provides a quality product that is both durable and cost effective. Stability, insulation, visibility and ease of stowage all feature highly in the design of this liferaft. Survitec’s DSB LR07 davit launch liferafts for 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 25 persons are compliant with relevant Marine Equipment Directives and offer a durable and cost-effective quality product. The design of DSB davit launch liferafts optimises stability, insulation, visibility and ease of stowage. As with all davit launch liferafts, each raft is designed to be deployed on a davit and have all passengers boarded before being safely lowered to the water. 

 The 25 and 35 person self-righting throw overboard and davit Launch liferafts are an continuation of the Surviva liferaft range, manufactured to the highest quality standards. These automatically self righting liferafts are utilised by a number of differing commercial vessel types but notably on Ro-Ro passenger vessels. 

 The Survitec range of self-righting liferafts meets the latest selfrighting requirement introduced for roll on/roll off passenger ships. A unique patent design means the raft will self-right in less than 1 minute. 

 The Survitec range of self-righting throw over Liferafts are compliant with appropriate Marine Equipment Directives (MEDs). Equipped with all the safety features of conventional DSB liferafts, with additional self-righting capability. A jettison type may also be used in conjunction with the DSB Small Inflatable Slide (SIS) and CAT-Slide Marine Evacuation Systems (MES).
Davit launch liferafts are designed to be deployed and boarded at deck level before being lowered to the water in case of an emergency. Whereas throw over rafts will inflate on impact with water, the additional self-righting feature will help to ensure these rafts always deploy correctly. 

The canopied fully reversible inflatable liferaft conforms to Resolution MSC.81 (70) of the IMO. It also meets ISO 15738:2002 (MED) (JG) (TC) specifications, as required in gas inflation systems for inflatable lifesaving appliances. The 50-person Surviva is ideal for use with the Survitec slide based Marine Evacuation Systems (MES). The 100-person option consists of 2 x 50-person liferafts packed in the same container and connected for maximum capacity. 

Built to meet the needs of small passenger vessels, high speed crafts and fishing vessels, the Survitec Open Reversible inflatable liferaft (ORIL) range is the optimum choice for many operators. Ideal for accommodating up to 151 people, these rafts are immediately boardable after drop, allowing for safe and fast recovery of all passengers. Designed and manufactured out of our highly successful facility in Chevanceaux, France, the open reversible is designed and constructed to withstand arduous environments at sea, supported by its durable polyurethane fabric and superior inflation time. All of the Survitec ORIL rafts are specifically manufactured to be compact when stored on-board, making them an effective choice when space and service time are at a premium. 

The MOR liferaft has been specially developed to meet the latest requirements of roll-on/roll-off (Ro/Ro) passenger ships and is fully approved for use thereon. MOR liferafts are now mandatory on Ro/Ro passenger ships as they provide a safe transfer of survivors from sea level to the deck of a ship in rescue situations. 

The LR97(R) Liferaft range for 28, 50, 100 and 150 persons holds EC-type approval under the International Code of Safety for High-speed Craft (HSC Code). As with all Open Reversible Liferafts (ORL), they can be boarded, on whichever side they inflate.

Survitec’s Ferryman open reversible liferaft (ORL) combines forward-thinking design with over 90-years of unparalleled knowledge and expertise in the marine safety industry. Designed specifically for passenger vessels operating in coastal and inland waterways, and for high-speed craft, the fully open and reversible RFD Ferryman Liferaft remains the industry’s premium ORL.

The Seasava is based on the highly successful SOLAS-approved Survitec MK4 range, the canopied inflatable throw over Seasava Pro-ISO liferaft has been developed specifically to accommodate the requirements of smaller vessels with limited deck space such as fishing boats. Meeting the stringent ISO9650-1 standard for inflatable liferafts, the RFD Seasava Pro-ISO liferaft is one of the most robust and durable smaller liferaft options available.
