Life Raft Maintenance App keeps life raft maintenance on schedule across every site. Technicians run PPM rounds on each life raft, log damaged container or stowage, expired hydrostatic release, incorrect painter or weak link, overdue servicing, and raise work orders that are tracked to verified closure. Managers see overdue life raft service visits and asset risk before a breakdown, not after.
Life Raft Maintenance App runs planned life raft maintenance covering container condition and stowage, hydrostatic release unit and date, painter line and weak link, servicing certificate and date, and lashings and float-free arrangement, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, life raft findings live on paper and in chat. A life raft fault such as damaged container or stowage slips through. An audit then means rebuilding life raft evidence from folders.
Life Raft Maintenance App keeps one record per life raft and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each life raft finding is tracked to verified closure. Deck officers and safety teams see life raft completion and overdue actions across the transport, logistics & warehousing portfolio. Every life raft record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Life Raft Maintenance App?
A comprehensive life raft inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Run life raft maintenance with scheduled canister, hydrostatic-release, and service-date tasks plus service history records. Your inspection should include sections for container condition and stowage, hydrostatic release unit and date, and painter line and weak link, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Life Raft Maintenance App
Preventive maintenance works when service visits actually happen on time. Follow these steps for each service visit:
Scan the life raft QR code to open its service history and the due PPM checklist.
Run the maintenance round, checking for damaged container or stowage, expired hydrostatic release, incorrect painter or weak link, overdue servicing and recording readings.
Log any defect with a photo and raise a work order with an owner and due date.
Record the work done and any parts used so the asset history stays complete.
Sign off. The dashboard updates service contract and PPM due dates for the next visit.
What Does Life Raft Maintenance Cover?
A life raft maintenance round covers container condition and stowage, hydrostatic release unit and date, painter line and weak link, servicing certificate and date, lashings and float-free arrangement, and SEP and cradle condition. Each life raft task is scheduled per asset and done on mobile with photo evidence. It is logged to the life raft service history. So life raft upkeep is provable, not assumed.

What Maintenance Teams Fix When Life Raft PPM Moves Off the Spreadsheet
Life Raft work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Life Raft Maintenance App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
You find out about a life raft problem from a complaint
There is no live view of life raft status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the life raft is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.
Problem
No live view of life raft status across sites
Life Raft problems surface as complaints, not as data
Life Raft risk is invisible until it becomes an incident
Solution
Live multi-site dashboard of life raft completion and open issues
Life Raft risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
Configurable dashboards filter life raft results by site and date
Life Raft PPM tracked on Excel, with no proof the visit happened
The maintenance schedule lives in a spreadsheet. A visit is marked done, but whether the technician actually serviced the life raft or signed the sheet from the car park is anyone's guess.
Problem
Life raft PPM schedules tracked on a spreadsheet
Life raft visits marked done with no proof of work
Life raft service contract renewals missed until a contract has lapsed
Solution
Service visits linked to the life raft QR code
Geofenced photo evidence on every life raft visit
Life raft service contract and PPM due dates surfaced before they slip
The same life raft defect comes back every cycle
Damaged container or stowage, expired hydrostatic release, incorrect painter or weak link, overdue servicing on the life raft are fixed, then reappear weeks later. Each life raft defect is treated as fresh because nobody sees it is the third time this quarter. The life raft root cause is never addressed.
Problem
Repeat life raft defects treated as new every time
No history tying findings to the same life raft
Budget spent re-fixing the same life raft problem
Solution
Full defect history per life raft
Recurring issue detection flags repeat life raft problems
Root-cause life raft work prioritised by evidence
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Life Raft Maintenance App check on life raft maintenance?
Life Raft Maintenance App runs planned life raft maintenance covering container condition and stowage, hydrostatic release unit and date, painter line and weak link, servicing certificate and date, and lashings and float-free arrangement. Each task is scheduled per asset and completed on mobile with photo evidence, then logged to the service history, so deck officers and safety teams can prove upkeep happened on time. Catching damaged container or stowage on a planned visit avoids a reactive breakdown later. Due dates and overdue tasks surface on the dashboard before a service quietly lapses, which is the common and expensive gap when schedules live in a spreadsheet.
Which life raft defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The maintenance targets the life raft failures that matter most: damaged container or stowage, expired hydrostatic release, incorrect painter or weak link, and overdue servicing. Left unchecked, a fault such as damaged container or stowage can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so deck officers and safety teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Life Raft Maintenance App support for life raft work?
Life Raft Maintenance App keeps life raft checks aligned to SOLAS LSA code and annual servicing requirements. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, deck officers and safety teams pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run life raft checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Life Raft Maintenance App is offline-first: teams complete life raft checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So deck officers and safety teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves life raft maintenance was completed?
Every completed life raft maintenance carries hydrostatic release photo, servicing certificate photo, and stowage photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, deck officers and safety teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
