Containers by VIKING
Durable and easy to handle VIKING containers are designed with several unique features. The special VIKING shell overlap design gives a secure watertight fit to protect against the elements. Unlike many other containers, our rim makes a solid easy grip for faster and easier handling - even in wet and slippery conditions. The overlap design is easier to open and re-seal during servicing. We manufacture our own containers and build them to last. Ongoing reseach and development for 50 years ensures that the containers that we use today are among the best on the market. The ribbed design adds extra stability to the sturdy fibre glass, and are approved to withstand a drop of up to 36 metres, some are even approved for heights of 55 metres. Quality does make a difference.
Davit-launched liferafts are connected to the davit, inflated, boarded from the deck and then lowered to water level.
Standard liferafts are available in the following sizes; 12, 16, 20, 25 and 35 persons. Self-righting liferafts are available in two sizes: 25 and 39 persons.
