Lifeboat Release & Retrieve System
Lifeboat Release & Retrieve System
In May 2011, the IMO adopted amendments to SOLAS Chapter III and the LSA Code, as well as related Guidelines to all manufacturers, ship owners/ builders to replace their old system with new LRRS (Lifeboat Release and Retrieval System) not later than the next scheduled drydocking after 1 July 2014, but no later than 1 July 2019.
To fulfil the latest IMO regulations, Vanguarde has developed a ‘Csafe’ Hook which performs maximum safety and quality for most types of lifeboat.
