Ocean Safety Ultralite ISO 9650-1 liferaft
(Click on image for larger view)
The Ocean ISO UltraLite liferaft utilizes carbon composite technology to achieve a significant weight reduction, compared to the traditional range of Ocean ISO liferafts. It also includes a high-tech inflation system to ensure an efficient inflation process.
The raft has been 3rd party approved to ISO9650 Type I Group A requirements by the Notified Body RINA. This liferaft offers the huge benefits of a lightweight solution for yacht designers but most importantly larger liferafts are now easier to handle and deploy.
Available in 6, 8, 10, and 12 person sizes
Approved for 3-year service.

Fabric
Buoyancy – New high tenacity nylon coated PU in a sandwich construction, providing a greater wear resistance and a longer service life. – Highly visible yellow buoyancy for maximum visual impact.
Canopy – PU coated nylon for a longer life.
Construction
Buoyancy – Tubular construction ensuring only 2 internal seams are used, significantly reducing abrasive damage during use. – New inflation system tested to SOLAS standard.
Floor – Fully bonded floor allowing repairs during use whilst maintaining full insulation.
Cellular foam floor with aluminium coating
A particularly innovative sandwich design incorporates a cellular foam layer between a fabric base and aluminium film top layer. The layer of aluminium film reflects back natural body heat providing protection and insulation from the cold of the water. This system offers superior insulation, lighter weight and needs no inflation system to work compared to an old-fashioned inflatable floor which may be easily punctured.
Valise or canister?
Ocean Safety liferafts are available in either a valise or a canister. When possible, a canister is recommended to offer the best protection against wear and tear and the elements. A canister can be left on deck or mounted in the stern of a sailing yacht. A liferaft in a valise should be protected from the elements and care should be taken to keep it clear from sharp objects. It will need to be stowed in a location that permits it to be brought on deck quickly and easily.
