Life raft FRN-R

FRN-R

This self-righting inflatable life raft inflates with liquefied CO2 gas (partially mixed with N2 gas), and turns upright in the water without assistance if the raft inflates in an inverted position. It is equipped with an automatic drain valve on the floor for the safety in case of water leak, boarding ramp that unfolds automatically, thermally insulated canopy and flooring, and large water pockets to ensure stability. The raft fully inflates in 10 to 25 seconds after dropping at ordinary temperature so as to enable individuals to promptly be evacuated into the life raft.
Having passed operational tests to withstand temperature range of -30 to +65 deg.(Celsius) and dropping from a height of 24m, this life raft can perform ideally in either the icy waters of the northern sea or warm waters of the tropical sea.

Safety Precautions

  • Although regular inspections are required by law to maintain the function, aging deterioration is unavoidable. The extent of deterioration depends on the installed locations or navigating situations, but according to the study conducted by a ship-chandlery related research institute, rapid deterioration may occur in eight years.
  • Even after a lapse of eight years, they can be used if they pass the test required. However, it is recommended that life rafts be replaced in every 8 to 12 years.
