DUARRY LIFERAFTS, OUR SPECIALITY

WE DESIGN THEM, MANUFACTURE THEM AND SERVICE THEM

How are they serviced?


The liferaft servicing is a complex task and it has to be carried out by a certified technician. In Ausmar we work to provide the revision, repairing and replacement service of all the safety material on board.

Although a liferaft properly packaged in its container and stowed can remain operational for several years, the weather, the temperature changes and even the saltpeter can affect its proper functioning.

The verification of all the material is also essential, it is necessary to check the status and expiration dates of each and every one of the materials included in the liferaft.
