Liferaft & Marine Safety

In the area of safety at sea, there can be no compromise. When emergencies strike, safety equipment must not fail. With this in mind, we at MARITIME SERVICES have chosen to represent only the most renowned manufacturers of safety items. All are leaders in their respective fields, be that pyrotechnics, liferafts, or fire-fighting equipment. For distress signals (flares, parachute rockets, etc.) and marine safety electronics such as E.P.I.R.B.'s, we distribute PAINS WESSEX SAFETY ITEMS, the world's leading manufacturer of marine safety equipment.

In our duly certified liferaft service station, we have elected to represent RFD MARINE SURVIVAL SYSTEMS. Renowned for their uncompromising quality, RFD liferafts and Marine Escape Systems (MES) fully meet the requirements of the International Convention for the Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) and are manufactured to ISO 9001 quality standard. Nothing is more frightening than fire; at sea it can be terrifying.

NEW!

We are now also dealing with and servicing RFD's Marin-Ark systems.

The RFD Marin-Ark marine evacuation system provides the most advanced way of evacuating passengers and crew from all types of passenger vessels in an emergency.

Evacuees transfer quickly and safely from the ship directly into the liferaft without exposure to the weather. The innovative RFD Marin-Ark was the first evacuation system in the world to fully comply with the latest International Maritime Organisation (IMO)/SOLAS Chapter III regulations governing safety on board passenger vessels.

RFD has over four decades of industry-leading experience dealing with marine evacuation systems and our ultimate survival system, the RFD Marin-Ark, has been installed on a substantial number of vessels including cruise ships, conventional passenger ferries and high-speed craft. For more information about RFD's Marin-Ark systems, see link to RFD Marine below.




A safety list would not be complete without the all-important basics: life jackets, survivor-locator lights, a heliograph mirror, emergency rations or earthquake survival kits. All are available here at Maritime Services.

MARITIME SERVICES IS CERTIFIED BY DET NORSKE VERITAS AND LLOYDS REGISTER OF SHIPPING FOR THE REPAIR AND SERVICING OF LIFERAFTS. ALL OUR TECHNICIANS ARE TRAINED AND CERTIFIED, AND UNDERGO RE-CERTIFICATION ON A REGULAR BASIS.
