Wilhelmsen is offering the opportunity to rent its Unitor liferafts on an annual basis, simplifying the process of liferaft inspection and upkeep.rnServicing liferafts can cause problems for ship operators. A vessel's short stay in port allows little time for the annual liferaft service. Ship operators no longerrnhave time to send life-saving appliances back to suppliers' service centres and wait for them to be inspected and repaired before setting sail.rnThe operational budget on ships is tight and cost control is vital. Liferafts may be condemned, and there is a risk of having to pay whatever price is asked.
