Totally enclosed lifeboat

Home / Totally enclosed lifeboat

Since 2006 a totally enclosed lifeboat is a mandatory safety feature on large tankers. Ever since the formation of SOLAS, also known as International Convention for the safety of Life at Sea, safety measures on ships have greatly improved and the development of rescue- and lifeboats has taken flight. Totally enclosed lifeboats have been issued for large tankers because they protect the crew inside in case of a fire. They are not only fully enclosed, but also fireproof and equipped with a water-spraying system to keep the totally enclosed lifeboat wet and the people inside as safe as they can possibly be.

Totally enclosed lifeboat, lightweight and strong

Every totally enclosed lifeboat as delivered by Euro Offshore BV is made out of fire-retardant glass fiber reinforced polyester, known to some as GRP. This composite material is very light but has the same structural strength as most metals. This strength is further enhanced because of the longitude and transverse bulkheads and the front of the totally enclosed lifeboat is extra strong in order to account for the impact of waves. All of this put together makes the totally enclosed lifeboats, as provided by Euro Offshore BV, a feature of technical ingeniousness that will help save lives at sea.
