The Importance of Regular Liferaft Servicing
When you’re out on the open sea, your liferaft is your ultimate safety net. It's a vital piece of equipment that can mean the difference between life and death in an emergency. However, like any piece of safety gear, liferafts require regular servicing to ensure they function properly when you need them most. At Marinechandlery.com, we understand the critical importance of this, which is why we’ve partnered with Seago, a leading name in marine safety, to offer top-notch liferaft servicing.
Why Liferaft Servicing is Essential
Liferafts are designed to be durable and reliable, but they are also exposed to harsh marine environments, including saltwater, extreme temperatures, and UV rays. Over time, these conditions can cause wear and tear on the materials and components of the liferaft, potentially compromising its effectiveness. Regular servicing ensures that your liferaft is in top condition, ready to deploy in an emergency.
During a service, professionals will thoroughly inspect your liferaft for any signs of damage or wear. They’ll check the integrity of the buoyancy chambers, inflation system, and emergency equipment. Any issues can be addressed before they become critical failures. Additionally, servicing ensures that your liferaft complies with safety regulations, which is not only a legal requirement for many vessels but also a matter of personal responsibility.

Avoid DIY Servicing – Trust the Professionals
It might be tempting to try and service your liferaft or lifejacket yourself to save time or money, but this is strongly discouraged. Liferafts are complex pieces of equipment, and improper servicing can lead to serious consequences. Only qualified professionals should carry out inspections and repairs, as they have the necessary training and tools to ensure that everything is in perfect working order. Attempting to service your liferaft yourself can also void its warranty, leaving you without protection if something goes wrong.
