The lifeboat is designed with a degree of seakeeping ability, allowing it to float and navigate on the sea for a period of time. It is equipped with essential survival supplies, including fresh water, food, and first aid materials, to meet the basic needs of those aboard. Additionally, the lifeboat features signaling equipment to send distress signals, improving the chances of rescue.
In emergency situations where a ship sinks due to serious accidents such as collision, grounding, fire, or flooding, lifeboats are the last hope for survival for the people on board. It can be quickly released to the surface during the sinking process of the ship, providing a safe evacuation carrier for crew and passengers.
Rescue boats are mainly used to rescue drowning persons or other ships and rafts in danger at sea.
It is a rapid response rescue tool that focuses on emergency rescue of distressed targets, rather than being primarily used for large-scale evacuation of personnel like lifeboats.
When the unexpected happens at sea—be it an emergency evacuation or a rapid man-overboard incident—you want vessels you can trust. Our lifeboats and rescue boats are engineered to offer just that: peace of mind, robust performance and compliance with the highest safety standards.
First, these craft excel in emergency readiness and rapid deployment. Whether you’re facing a large-scale evacuation scenario on board a ship (the role of a lifeboat) or a fast-response rescue mission (the domain of a rescue boat), the right vessel can make the difference between chaos and control. Lifeboats are designed for mass evacuation, self-sufficient survival and extended offshore exposure. Rescue boats, on the other hand, are built for agility and immediate action—quick to launch, manoeuvre and recover persons in distress.
Beyond simply being ready, our lifeboats and rescue boats bring durability and survival capability in harsh marine conditions. Lifeboats must withstand extreme weather, immersion, impact and potentially prolonged periods before rescue—features that are baked into their design and build. Meanwhile, rescue boats are crafted for mission-intensity: strong hulls, fast response, and minimal setup so the rescue team can get in the water and out again efficiently.
Another key advantage is versatility in use and purpose. Whether you're outfitting a passenger ship, a cargo vessel, an offshore installation or a specialty craft, a combination of lifeboat and rescue boat solutions means you’re covered for a variety of emergency scenarios—from full-scale abandonment to the quick recovery of a single crew member. The dual-capability approach optimises safety across your fleet.
Finally, choosing certified, high-quality boats ensures compliance and long-term value. Both lifeboats and rescue boats must meet regulatory frameworks (such as those defined by International Maritime Organization, SOLAS, LSA codes) for construction, equipment and deployment. Investing in trusted vessels means fewer surprises, lower risk of failure in a critical moment and better maintenance and lifecycle costs.
