We check where it is stowed
A raft behind a locked locker, a jacket at the bottom of a bunk locker, an extinguisher behind the tender. All in date, all useless. The stowage report comes with the certificate and costs nothing extra.
Approved service station, Falmouth ยท collection along the south coast
Two separate questions, and the certificate only answers one. A raft serviced last month, stowed under four fenders behind a locked locker, is not safety equipment. It is paperwork.
What we service
Nothing matches that search. to see everything.
How we work
A raft behind a locked locker, a jacket at the bottom of a bunk locker, an extinguisher behind the tender. All in date, all useless. The stowage report comes with the certificate and costs nothing extra.
Service stations that discourage owners from attending are the ones worth avoiding. We will tell you when your raft is going up and you can stand there while it is opened.
Flares, water and rations are replaced against their printed date whether or not they look fine. The ones that look fine are exactly the ones that fail when they are needed.
Raft, jackets, beacons, extinguishers, hydrostatic releases and the fire system all expire on different cycles. We put them on one list so nothing is discovered by a surveyor.
โI went and watched them open ours. Two of the six flares were out of date inside a raft that had been certified the year before by somebody else, and the painter was routed wrong. I have used them ever since and I still turn up.โ
