Safety, Fire & Life-Saving

Lifeboats, Davits & Liferafts

Lifeboat, davit, and liferaft suppliers supply and install the survival craft and launching equipment a vessel carries under SOLAS — enclosed and open lifeboats, rescue boats, davits with their winches and falls, and inflatable liferafts in davit-launched or float-free cradles.

This covers the survival craft and launching gear themselves, distinct from the life-saving appliances such as lifejackets and EPIRBs carried aboard them, and from the annual servicing and load testing that keeps lifeboats, davits, and liferafts certified once in service. Suppliers handle new-build installation, replacement of lifeboats or liferaft cradles reaching end of life, and davit and winch overhaul or renewal. Because this equipment is central to a vessel's SOLAS safety case, owners typically commission renewal or major installation work during dry-dock, comparing suppliers on approval type, capacity to match crew complement, and installation lead time. It sits within the Safety, Fire & Life-Saving category group on PortProcure.

PortProcure lists 44 verified Lifeboats, Davits & Liferafts suppliers across 24 ports, including Abidjan, Alexandria, and Balboa. Send an RFQ to compare quotes from listed suppliers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does buying survival craft differ from getting them serviced?

This category covers the equipment itself — supplying and installing new or replacement lifeboats, rescue boats, davits, and liferafts. Keeping that equipment certified once aboard, through annual inspection and load testing, is a separate servicing category. A buyer typically deals with a supplier for a dry-dock renewal and an approved service station for the yearly checks in between.

What is the difference between a davit-launched and a float-free liferaft?

A davit-launched liferaft is lowered from the ship by a davit so crew board it at deck level, while a float-free raft is stowed in a cradle with a hydrostatic release that lets it float clear and inflate automatically if the vessel sinks. Which a ship carries is set by its SOLAS arrangement, so buyers replace like-for-like unless the survival-craft plan itself is being changed.

What determines which lifeboat a vessel can carry?

A lifeboat must be type-approved and have the capacity to take the full crew complement it is assigned, matched to the vessel's launching arrangement and davit. So when replacing one, buyers specify the approval type and required capacity — not just the dimensions — and confirm it suits the existing davit, which is why capacity and approval matter more than price when comparing suppliers.
