Tailor-made PELB's //

In July 2011 Oceanwide Safety at Sea delivered 6 Partially Enclosed Lifeboats (PELB) for the cruise industry.

The MV Albatros, managed by V-Ships and operated by Phoenix Reisen, used to be  equipped with fully open lifeboats. However, with an upcoming trip to Arctic areas the regulations stated that the open lifeboats had to be replaced by PELB’s. As the MV Albatros has fully booked cruises nearly all year around, the new PELB’s had to be tailor-made to fit into the existing davit configuration.

Oceanwide Safety at Sea developed new Partially Enclosed Lifeboats based on a hull of its 9.50 mtr SPHL, modified and outfitted as a Partially Enclosed Lifeboat and with a capacity of 88 persons. The PELB was prototype tested under DNV supervision.

Together with German based RC Hydraulik- und Industrieservice GmbH the new PELB’s were installed during fixed stop-overs at Bremerhaven. Therefore no additional down-time was needed for the MV Albatros and the ship could sail her normal cruise schedule.

The development, manufacturing, prototype testing & installation of the 6 PELB’s on board the MV Albatros did not take more than 5 months from date of order.
