Marine safety equipment specialist, Ocean Safety, is launching its new 14 and 16 person ISO 9650 Type 1 compliant commercial liferafts at Seawork, 13-15 June 2023. With recent changes to the ISO 9650 regulations allowing for a maximum capacity of up to 16 people, Ocean Safety has expanded its popular Ocean ISO liferaft range to include these larger capacity rafts. “We’re delighted to be presenting these new additions to our ISO compliant commercial liferaft range which are ideal for UK registered small commercial craft,” says Alistair Hackett, Managing Director at Ocean Safety. “The regulation changes mean that a vessel approved to carry 12 passengers and two crew can now carry a single 14-person liferaft with SOLAS B pack, where previously it would have had to carry two liferafts, therefore reducing stowage space required, decreasing capital outlay and ongoing servicing costs.”
