DNV-OS-E406
As required in the DVN-OS-E406 - Section 9 - D102: Full Scale Drop Testing is required for each manufactured freefall lifeboat, prior to delivery to the platform or ship. Since 2012 Verhoef has a permanent test facility near her works, to perform drop tests at any time the Client requires to do so.
The Verhoef Aluminium Freefall Lifeboats show positive headway and high forward speed - the lifeboats cover a distance of 200 meters, away from the host facility, within 45 seconds!
