Concept Available in standard and self-righting types, davit-launched liferafts represent an alternative, safe and reliable meansof evacuation allowing for passengers to board them from deck.
Application The davit-launched liferafts are installed on boardpassenger vessels, cargo vessels, cruise vessels (standard type life-rafts), and ro-ro vessels (self-righting types).
Benefits High-quality inflatable liferafts for commercial,military and rescue purposes manufactured with the greatest care and respect.
Concept The special liferaft range includes products such asaviation liferafts, open reversible liferafts/buoyant safetyapparatus, leisure liferafts, and Means of Rescue. All of them manufactured for alternative fields of application.

VIKING's throw-overboardliferafts are available in twoversions: Traditional and self-righting.
Traditional SOLAS liferaftThe traditional SOLAS throw-overboard liferaft is availablein sizes ranging from 6 to 51person capacities (referred toas type DK). For special needs,a 102 person unit (2 x 51person liferafts packed intoone container) is available.
Self-righting throw-overboard liferaftThe automatically self-right-ing liferafts, throw-overboardtype (referred to as type DKS),are available in 25, 51, 101and 150 person capacities.They have been approvedaccording to the latest inter-national regulations applyingto ro-ro passenger ships. The liferafts are to be appliedwith evacuation slides orchutes installed on board ro-ro ferries. They may also
serve as liferafts for directboarding from decks notmore than 1.5 m abovewater level on board smallferries and passenger ships.
Launching The throw-overboard liferaftis released from its cradle (by disengaging the slip hook)and thrown overboard, orslides automatically whenreleased. When waterborne,
the liferaft inflates on a hardpull of the painter line and isthen ready for boarding.In combination with the eva-cuation systems the liferaftsare remote released. Whenwaterborne, the liferaft con-tainer is connected to theinflated evacuation system.The liferaft inflates on a hardpull of the quick release lineand is then ready for board-ing.

VIKING's davit-launched life-rafts are available in twoversions: traditional and self-righting.
Traditional davit-launched liferaftThe traditional SOLAS davit-launched liferaft is availablein sizes 12, 16, 20, 25 and 35person carrying capacities(referred to as DKF).
Self-righting davit-launched liferaftThe automatically self-rightingliferafts, davit-launched type(referred to as type DKFS)are available in 25 and 39person capacities. They have
been approved according tothe latest international regu-lations applying to ro-ro pas-senger ships.
LaunchingThe davit-launched liferaft isto be connected to the davitand then inflated at decklevel, thus enabling the pas-sengers to board it fromdeck. The liferaft is thenlaunched to the water.All approved liferafts mustbe equipped with an auto-matic release gear (hydro-static release unit) whichmakes the raft release auto-matically under water if notime is left for manual release.

Capacities
Reliability A liferaft may be a person'slast chance of survival. It istherefore manufactured withthe greatest care and respectas to the situation in which itis likely to be used.
Basic materialThe basic material of VIKINGliferafts is a strong webbingcovered with natural rubber.An extremely advantageousfeature of rubber is its elasti-city. Elasticity is equal to flex-ibility which improves reli-ability in an emergency causingthe liferaft to be exposed toquite heavy loads. During numerous tests madein the right element, theflexibility of the VIKING life-raft has proved crucial to itsfunctioning when deployedat extremely low temperat-
ures, when being boardedand when being loaded inrough sea.
Demanding testsThe liferafts have been suc-cessfully tested in compli-ance with the prescribedinternational requirementsand regulations. For instancethey have been subjected tovelocity tests at forces of 30m/sec and to sea trials inrough sea conditions.As for the self-righting life-rafts, they have also beensubjected to tests demon-strating their self-rightingproperties.
ApprovalsDesigned to comply with thenew International MaritimeOrganisation / SOLAS ChapterIII requirements to maritime
equipment, VIKING's productshave also been fully approvedby many other countriesthroughout the world.Besides, accreditation hasbeen received by ClassificationSocieties like Det NorskeVeritas – on behalf of the EU.
ServicingThe type-approved liferaftsmust be serviced at a VIKINGauthorized servicing stationevery twelve months in accord-ance with national and inter-national regulations.

Designed and manufacturedfor air force applications, theaviation liferaft (referred toas AVS) comes in a highlydurable, light-weight polyu-rethane-coated nylon fabriccomplying with FAA specifi-cations. A special boardingarrangement allows eva-cuees lying in the water toalmost directly swim into theliferaft.
Designed and manufacturedto meet the requirements foruse on passenger ships oper-ating in inland and coastalwaters, the open and fullyreversible liferaft/inflatablebouyant apparatus (referredto as DKR/IBA) is intendedfor shipwrecked persons like-ly to be exposed to badweather conditions only for ashort period of time beforebeing located and picked up.
The new generation ofVIKING RescYou™ leisureliferafts does not take upmuch space. They are easy tohandle and come in two ver-sions: a standard throw-over-board liferaft (referred to asUKL) and a self-righting lifer-aft (referred to as UKSL) exceeding the new ISOregulations by providingthese self-righting capabilities.
Intended for transfer ofpeople from the water tothe deck in an emergency(referred to as MOR). Operated in a way similar tostandard davit-launchedliferafts and kept to the ship'sside by means of bowsinglines.
