Freefall Lifeboat 490 DC
Workboat Nr. 674 - Freefall Lifeboat 490 DC
This fully enclosed free fall lifeboat dry cargo version is equipped with an inboard diesel engine.
The boat is made out of fireproof glass fiber reinforced polyester, also known as GRP. The main parts are laminated independent moulds. To assure buoyancy and strength, foam is injected into certain areas between the inner liner and the hull. Longitude bulkheads and transverse bulkheads, secure the strength of the hull. Extra strengthening is built in to the bow area to absorb the forces from water during diving.
The boat is made with anti-skid on all walking surfaces, inside and outside. A fender made out of synthetic rubber is mounted on port and starboard side. Stainless steel screws connect this fender to the hull.
