Survitec, a global leader in Survival Technology, has received independent validation for its Seahaven system, the world’s largest inflatable lifeboat, which signifies an innovative advancement in passenger safety, vessel design, and operational efficiency.
The study, conducted by the naval architecture and marine engineering consultancy Foreship, quantifies the substantial benefits of integrating Seahaven into cruise ship designs, with a focus on space utilisation and cost efficiency. The study also highlights that vessels can experience weight advantages with Seahaven, making the system favourable for both new designs and retrofitting existing ships.
Survitec’s white paper, ‘Seahaven Application Study’, outlines the study’s findings and examines four primary configurations for integrating the Seahaven system. The findings emphasise Seahaven's ability to significantly enhance cruise ship layout and functionality by optimising valuable deck space by eliminating bulky davit-launched lifeboats.
