🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS requirements for inflatable liferaft servicing • Difference between on‑board checks and formal servicing • Role of an approved service facility for lifesaving appliances

💭 Think About

• Think about what kind of work is actually needed on an inflatable liferaft (inflation tests, CO₂ or gas cylinder checks, repacking, replacement of dated items). Who is realistically qualified and authorized to do that work? • Consider what SOLAS and Coast Guard inspectors look for in the ship’s safety certificates and records regarding liferaft maintenance. • Ask yourself: which option would create a clear, auditable paper trail that regulators can easily verify for compliance?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether inflatable liferafts must be serviced at an approved facility or if a general shipyard is sufficient. • Consider whether a formal servicing interval (often annual or as specified) is required by regulation, or if informal crew checks alone would meet the standard. • Distinguish between routine crew inspections (visual condition, lashings, hydrostatic release) and certified maintenance/servicing (repacking, pressure tests, etc.).
