Why Annual Service Matters
SOLAS requires liferaft inspection by approved stations. Poor stowage, expired HRUs and damaged canisters are common PSC findings.
Your Pre-Port Checklist
- Confirm last service date and certificate validity.
- Verify HRU expiry and painter line condition.
- Check cradle condition, lashings, and markings.
During Service
Technicians inspect canister integrity, inflation, valves, equipment packs, flares and lights. Reports include photos, findings and next due date.
Documentation
Keep the latest certificate and service report onboard. Ensure serial numbers match the raft & canister labels.
