New Fully Enclosed Lifeboat in Europe

01 Jan 2002

A newly developed, fully enclosed lifeboat with a capacity of 102 persons and a new fast rescue craft in three different versions, all produced by Jiangyin Xinjiang of China, have been introduced to the European market by sole regional distributor Norwegian Maritime Equipment AS.

The newly developed fully enclosed lifeboat has a capacity of 102 persons.

The large lifeboat has already seen sales to shipping and offshore operators and comes in two versions, the QFN-9.35 for tankers and the QFP-9.33 dry cargo version. The vessels are a response to cost analyses which suggest it is more beneficial to invest in oversized lifecraft at initial purchase than to carry out costly modifications later.

The fast rescue boat is marketed under the name Normar. The Normar 610 can be delivered with inboard or outboard motor from 65 to 110hp. The Normar 650 and 750 models come with an inboard engine and waterjet. Bukh+Steyr provide the standard propulsion but the boats can be delivered with other engine packages.
