Hi everyone,

Any advice please for a brand of liferaft worldwide servicing? Currently we have an ADEC liferaft on hire, but due to my own lack of homework it turns out that it is their own brand, not a rebadged make. We are due to be in Greenland next year when it is due for service and it looks likely that we will have to return it to the UK and cancel the hire agreement. That leaves us with having a new replacement sent out or buying a Viking liferaft in Greenland. But in the next few years we will hopefully be in the Pacific and I do not want to find that no one can service the replacement.

Who can shed any light on worldwide servicing?

Has anyone managed to fly with a liferaft (IE including the pyrotechnics and cylinder)?
