A free-fall lifeboat is the fastest way of escaping from a vessel/platform in emergencies. They simply slide out from a ramp onboard and hit the water well away from the ship or installation with a high positive forward motion.

Partially enclosed lifeboats are used primarily on passenger vessels, cruise lines, and ferry operators where user friendliness and high boat capacity are priorities. Needless to say, they comply with the latest IMO/SOLAS regulations and come with new on-load release hooks as required by the IMO.

This type of davit is used to lower lifeboats with the help of the boats weight. The davit is designed for lowering the lifeboat in a continuous motion as turning out and lowering are both driven by gravity.
