Free-fall lifeboats


All freefall lifeboats produced at Euro Offshore are made of fireproof glass fiber reinforced polyester (GRP) and are injected with foam in certain areas to assure buoyancy and strength. Extra strengthening is built into the bow to absorb the forces of the water during diving. Since 2006 all bulk carriers are required to carry freefall lifeboats and the ones on tankers also need to be fireproof. Therefore, two types of freefall lifeboats are produced at Euro offshore;
