In today’s maritime industry, safety is no longer just a matter of compliance — it is a strategic component of fleet management. As shipping companies face tighter inspections, higher insurance demands, and increasing operational risks, investing in modern safety equipment is not an option but a necessity.
Upgrading to Lalizas inflatable liferafts is one of the most effective ways to strengthen your fleet’s safety profile while improving operational efficiency. As the official global representative of Lalizas, Gaelix Marine Service supports shipowners worldwide in implementing advanced safety strategies.
The New Reality of Maritime Safety
Regulatory bodies across the EU and worldwide are intensifying their inspections. Port State Control (PSC) failures not only delay operations but also damage company reputation and increase insurance costs.
Outdated liferafts are one of the most common reasons for deficiencies during inspections. Modernizing with Lalizas ensures:
- Guaranteed compliance with SOLAS, MED, and IMO
- Smooth audits with clear documentation and certifications
- Reduced operational risks for crew and assets
Safety has shifted from being a cost to becoming an investment that protects profitability.
Why Lalizas Liferafts Stand Out
Lalizas liferafts are designed to perform under the harshest conditions and offer:
- Durable materials resistant to UV, salt, and extreme temperatures
- Fast and reliable deployment systems tested under real conditions
- Ergonomic designs providing comfort and stability for survivors
- Global servicing ensuring operational readiness anywhere in the world
With models covering SOLAS A, SOLAS B, and specialized configurations, shipowners can equip every vessel with the right solution.
Financial and Operational Advantages
While safety is the primary driver, upgrading to Lalizas liferafts also makes business sense:
- Lower insurance premiums thanks to reduced risk ratings
- Fewer inspection delays and port detentions
- Extended service life with lower total cost of ownership
- Fleet standardization, simplifying training and spare parts management
Investing now means avoiding higher costs and complications later.
A Strategic Approach to Fleet Safety
Forward-thinking shipowners are taking a proactive stance by:
- Auditing current safety equipment and identifying outdated liferafts
- Standardizing on Lalizas models for consistency and reliability
- Integrating annual service plans to avoid surprises during inspections
- Training crew on correct use and emergency deployment
With the right partner, this process is smooth and cost-effective.
