The waterspray system and the occupants. protects the boat
Conventional boats are launched over the side by gravity davits and there have been numerous instances when the time taken to launch the boats and to get them away from the ship has proved to be an additional hazard.
Fassmer freefall lifeboats provide the quickest and safest possible escape. As soon as all personnel are in the boat and the aft door secured the hydraulic release gear is activated and the boats is launched, via the trackway aft, away from the vessel into clear water, even if the engine is not running.
Fassmer boats are designed to provide a paticularly smooth entry into the water. The G forces experienced are not much greater than being on a roundabout.
Fassmer boats are designed with safety in mind, not just compliance with the rules. Example of this include: A large entrance door aft to speed embarkation, a spacious work area to allow recovery of people from the water and heli-lifting to safety. Large windows allow maximum light and improve visibility. Comfortable upholstered seats, with 4 point belts protect the passengers.
