LIFEBOAT SYSTEMS Freefall Systems Offshore
HARDING FF 1050 AND FF 1100 Harding FF 1050 and FF 1100 are a part of Harding’s new generation freefall lifeboats. They are based on the ground-breaking design of the FF 1200 which has been a huge success in recent years. Both the FF 1050 and FF 1100 are made to meet the new regulations for the North Sea, way beyond SOLAS rules for free fall lifeboats. The design ensures great positive headway combined with the lowest possible G-forces on on-board personnel during launch of the lifeboat.
