Welcome to Solas Safety & Supply your trusted partner in certified maritime safety solutions. We deliver expert fire system servicing, lifesaving equipment inspections, and technical support to ensure your vessel remains safe and compliant at all times.
Regular inspection of safety equipment is a cornerstone of maritime safety and compliance. Equipment such as fire extinguishers, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), immersion suits, and life rafts are exposed to challenging marine environments, and their functionality must be guaranteed at all times. Solas Safety & Supply provides certified inspections that help shipowners meet international safety standards and ensure crew protection in critical situations.
A thorough inspection includes checking the pressure, seals, expiry dates, activation mechanisms, and general condition of each safety device. For example, extinguishers are weighed and pressure-tested; SCBAs are function-tested for airflow and mask integrity; and life rafts are unpacked, inflated, and inspected for leaks. These inspections are vital to ensure that equipment works properly when lives depend on it.
Environmental conditions like saltwater, humidity, and temperature variations can degrade safety gear over time. Without regular checks, critical failures may go unnoticed until it's too late. Solas Safety’s proactive inspection routines help detect early signs of wear, corrosion, or expiration, allowing timely servicing or replacement. This not only ensures safety but also supports operational readiness at all times.
In addition to preventing failure, regular inspections help identify compliance gaps before port state control or class surveys. Missing service tags, outdated certification, or undercharged cylinders can lead to delays, fines, or detentions. Solas Safety ensures that your vessel is audit-ready with up-to-date records and class-approved certifications after every inspection.
Regular inspections contribute to long-term cost savings and peace of mind. By identifying issues before they escalate, shipowners can avoid emergency replacements or last-minute dock calls. It also reinforces crew confidence, knowing that emergency systems have been tested and certified for use.
