Lifeboat with Hydraulic Hook – Enhanced Safety and Precision Launching by CMEC FJCN

The Lifeboat with Hydraulic Hook by CMEC FJCN is a premium marine safety solution that integrates a high-performance enclosed lifeboat with a modern hydraulic release system for safe and reliable launching. This system is specifically engineered to minimize risks during evacuation and ensure quick, controlled deployment under emergency conditions.

Unlike conventional release mechanisms, this system uses hydraulic hooks to lock and release the lifeboat from its davits. These hooks are powered by a self-contained hydraulic pump unit, allowing for smooth and precise operation even under high stress or load. In the event of power failure, manual override systems are available, ensuring dual redundancy and total compliance with international safety standards.

The lifeboat itself is a Totally Enclosed Type, offering full protection from rough weather, fire, flooding, and toxic environments. Constructed from fire-retardant fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), the boat’s structure is both durable and lightweight. Its aerodynamic and hydrodynamic shape ensures stability, speed, and directional control once launched.

Each lifeboat is equipped with internal seating, safety belts, thermal protection, emergency supplies, and a reliable inboard diesel engine, enabling independent maneuvering away from danger zones. The inclusion of ventilation ports, drainage systems, and automatic water spray protection adds to the overall safety and endurance of the vessel.

The Hydraulic Hook System is designed with load-sensing capabilities and automatic reset functions, ensuring the boat cannot be released under unsafe conditions. Hooks are corrosion-resistant and certified for long-term use in harsh marine environments. The system also reduces crew training time, as the hydraulic controls are simple, intuitive, and require minimal manual effort compared to traditional hook systems.

Ideal for oil tankers, passenger vessels, container ships, and offshore installations, this combined system is fully SOLAS and LSA Code compliant, and certified by leading international classification societies including DNV, BV, ABS, and CCS.

CMEC FJCN provides a fully integrated solution — including boat, hooks, release system, and optional davit — along with installation support, operation manuals, crew training, and ongoing technical assistance.

For vessel operators seeking to modernize their emergency evacuation systems, the Lifeboat with Hydraulic Hook offers a highly dependable, low-maintenance, and safety-enhanced solution that puts crew welfare first.
