Gangway systems and freefall lifeboats since 1941

VERHOEF DELIVERS RETROFIT FREEFALL LIFEBOATS

  • Verhoef designs and fabricates their ALUMINIUM freefall lifeboats in accordance with the dimensions of the existing cradle
  • There is no need for an additional frame to fit on existing cradle
  • As aluminium is lighter than GRP also the existing winches can be re-used
  • The freefall lifeboats are designed according the latest Standards, such as DNV-OS-E406, but also Clients specific requirements can be applied.

Verhoef has successfully delivered 6 RETROFIT aluminium freefall liboats – 46p / 100 kg to a British Oil Platform.

All 6 FFLB’s were drop tested from Verhoef’s test tower before their delivery to the platform. The tests were witnessed by representatives from HSE/ABS and the client.
