Crewsaver has launched their new range of ISO Ocean Liferafts in front of a packed audience at the Tullet Prebon London Boat Show. Visitors to the show have the chance to win a four-person liferaft by entering a competition at the Crewsaver stand (D315).
The Crewsaver ISO Ocean Liferaft range has been specifically designed, fully tested and certified to
meet the stringent ISO 9650-1 standard for inflatable liferafts.
The Crewsaver ISO Ocean Liferaft is designed for extended offshore and ocean use, and for extreme
weather conditions such as high wind and significant wave heights. Key features include a thermal
insulated floor, an external SOLAS approved strobing light and an emergency pack kitted out with
essential survival equipment. The emergency pack supplied comes in two variations, determined by the
time likely to be spent onboard the raft before being rescued and therefore less than 24 hours or more
than 24 hours.
Available in five sizes the Crewsaver ISO Ocean Liferaft can accommodate from four to twelve persons
depending upon the model.
The Crewsaver ISO Ocean Liferafts embody the latest design and technological advances. Vacuum
packed into either the new low profile, lightweight container, or the weather proof valise, the Crewsaver
ISO Ocean Liferafts are compact and take up precious little space on board.
When activated, the raft inflates quickly to form a rectangular (4-8 person) or hexagonal (10 and 12
person) shape. The outer perimeter is formed with two air tubes, one above the other, with a canopy
supported by an inflatable ‘beam’.
As essential safety features, the entire raft is finished in a hi-vis orange colour and has an interior and
exterior light to ensure optimum visibility. Other safety features include large water ballast pockets and
a semi rigid boarding ramp to aid people’s access.
“This is a comprehensive range of ISO liferafts developed using our global expertise in marine safety
products, manufactured using the highest quality materials and construction methods, to maximise the
safety of all watersports enthusiasts.” said David Ellis, Director of Sales and Marketing at Crewsaver.
The Crewsaver ISO Ocean Liferaft has a 12 year warranty with a 3 year service interval and as part of
the Survitec group of companies is supported by a vast global network of over 600 fully approved
service stations.
