Maritime safety equipment is crucial for protection at sea. However, many boat owners are unaware of how often they should inspect and certify their gear.
Liferaft Inspections: Liferafts should be checked every three years during the first six years of their lifespan and then every two years. OscarSierra offers a liferaft inspection and certification service to ensure they are in optimal condition.
Fire Extinguishers and Fire Suppression Systems: An expired or unpressurized extinguisher is useless in an emergency. We recommend inspecting fire suppression systems annually and refilling them when necessary.
Harnesses and Life Jackets: Life jackets and harnesses should be inspected at least once a year to check for wear, malfunctioning inflators, or CO₂ cartridge issues. OscarSierra provides specialized life jacket and flotation device inspections to guarantee their functionality.
📌 Tip: Keep a maintenance checklist and make sure the entire crew knows where it is.
