Liferafts and containe VIKING liferafts are found all over the globe - from the arctic A full range of throw-overboard and davit-launched liferafts VIKING’s liferafts are available in a standard version and a top of the line automatically self-righting version. The proven self-righting liferafts ensure that no matter how the liferaft lands in the water it will always inflate rightside up, ready for boarding. Liferafts can be equipped with a hydrostatic release unit to ensure that it inflates automatically if it has not been released manually. Liferafts are subjected to rough sea trials, wind velocity tests at forces of 30 metres per second and deployment at extremely low temperatures. Self- righting liferafts are also tested for automatic self- righting capabilities. 2 Ready for installation Liferafts can be delivered with optional galvanized deck cradles and lashings. A full set can be delivered with the liferaft mounted in the cradle including the hydrostatic release unit ready to be installed on the vessel. We also offer assistance with installation tests for davit-launched liferafts. Contact your local VIKING office for more information.
