Schat-Harding provides 370-person mega lifeboats to world's largest cruise ship

摘要

Leading lifeboat and davit manufacturer Schat-Harding has delivered the world's largest lifeboats, complete with unique davit systems, to the world's largest cruise ship, Royal Caribbean International's Oasis of the Seas. The Oasis of the Seas is equipped with eighteen of Schat-Harding's unique, 370-person CRV55 lifeboats and LS45 davit systems. The CRV55 is the only pure lifeboat with a catamaran hull, which provides excellent sea-keeping capability and manoeuvrability. The LS45 davit, meanwhile, is a completely new integrated system for cruise vessels. The lifeboats are lowered directly from the stowed position, so that no outswing is needed, and the entire boat is positioned outside the hull of the ship. The CRV55 is of reinforced construction and has a special 'green sea' lashing system, making it secure in high waves.
