Safelaunch

Safelaunch® is an offload / onload lifeboat release and retrieval system designed and manufactured by Survival Craft to eliminate the common operating problems associated with other release mechanisms.

Fatalities occur every year as a result of old and poorly-designed release mechanisms. Safelaunch® represents a major step forward in functionality and safety, and greatly reduces the potential for injuries and fatalities resulting from operational failure or incorrect use of release systems.

Safelaunch® meets the latest requirements of SOLAS, IMO and LSA codes and is approved by DNV in accordance with the EU Marine Equipment Directive (MED).

Safelaunch® can be installed in new lifeboats or retrofitted to old lifeboats as a class approved upgrade.
