# The Ultimate Safety Solution: Totally Enclosed Lifeboat (TELB) ## Overview In the unpredictable and often perilous marine environment, the **Totally Enclosed Lifeboat (TELB)** stands as the definitive last line of defense for crew and passengers. Designed and engineered to the most stringent international standards, our TELBs provide unparalleled protection, reliability, and peace of mind during emergency evacuations. Built to withstand the harshest sea conditions, fire, and toxic atmospheres, these life-saving appliances ensure the safe and secure transfer of personnel from a distressed vessel or offshore platform. ## Key Features & Benefits ### 1. Unparalleled Crew & Passenger Protection * **Fully Enclosed, Fire-Retardant Hull:** Constructed from robust, marine-grade, fire-retardant Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) or Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP), offering superior resistance to fire, impact, and extreme weather. * **Self-Contained Air Supply System:** An integrated compressed air system provides a safe breathing environment for a minimum of 10 minutes, protecting occupants from smoke, toxic gases, and oxygen deficiency in hazardous conditions. * **External Water Spray System:** A powerful self-priming pump draws seawater to create a continuous water spray over the entire exterior of the lifeboat, offering crucial fire protection when evacuating from burning vessels or oil rigs. * **Weatherproof & Insulated:** Protects occupants from hypothermia, sunstroke, and severe elements, ensuring a stable internal climate. ### 2. Advanced Safety & Navigation Systems * **Positive Stability & Self-Righting:** Engineered for exceptional stability, our TELBs automatically self-right to an upright position even if capsized in rough seas, ensuring continuous safety. * **Reliable Propulsion System:** Equipped with a SOLAS-approved, marine diesel engine (typically water-cooled), capable of maintaining a speed of at least 6 knots for a minimum of 24 hours. The engine is protected by a fire-resistant canopy. * **Fuel & Power Reserves:** Ample fuel tank capacity and a robust battery system ensure prolonged operational capability. * **Emergency Lighting & Signage:** Internal and external lighting, including boarding lights and clearly marked emergency exits, enhance visibility and facilitate safe operation in darkness. * **Non-Skid Deck & Grab Rails:** Maximizes safety during boarding and movement within the lifeboat, even in wet conditions. ### 3. Comprehensive Survival & Communication Gear * **Ergonomic Seating with Safety Belts:** Comfortable, ergonomic seating with individual safety belts for all occupants, designed for long-term survival and to withstand dynamic forces during launch and in rough seas. * **Integrated Survival Kit:** Includes essential provisions such as fresh water, rations, first aid kits, thermal protective aids, fishing tackle, and tools, all stored in watertight containers. * **Communication Equipment:** Equipped with a watertight VHF radio (GMDSS compliant), search and rescue transponder (SART), and Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) (optional, based on specific requirements) for effective communication and location by rescue services. * **Manual Bilge Pump & Sea Anchor:** Essential for dewatering and maintaining stability in adverse conditions. ### 4. Ease of Launch & Maintenance * **SOLAS-Compliant Davit Launch System:** Designed for safe, rapid, and efficient launching from the parent vessel via a davit system. Includes on-load and off-load release mechanisms. * **Intuitive Controls:** Simple and clearly marked controls for engine operation, steering, and emergency systems, ensuring easy operation even by untrained personnel in high-stress situations. * **Low Maintenance:** Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, minimizing maintenance requirements and maximizing operational readiness. ## Technical Specifications (Illustrative) | Feature | Specification | | :------------------ | :------------------------------------------------ | | **Capacity** | 25 to 150 persons (Varies by model and length) | | **Hull Material** | Fire-retardant GRP/FRP | | **Length (LOA)** | 5.0 m to 14.0 m (Varies by capacity) | | **Beam** | 2.2 m to 4.5 m | | **Height** | 2.5 m to 4.0 m | | **Engine** | SOLAS-approved Marine Diesel (e.g., 28 HP - 100 HP) | | **Speed** | ≥ 6 knots | | **Endurance** | ≥ 24 hours at 6 knots | | **Air System** | ≥ 10 minutes of breathable air supply | | **Water Spray** | Self-priming pump, covering entire exterior | | **Certification** | Fully compliant with SOLAS, IMO, LSA Code, and major Classification Societies (e.g., DNV, LR, ABS, BV) | ## Ideal For * **Commercial Vessels:** Cargo ships, tankers, bulk carriers, container ships * **Passenger Vessels:** Cruise liners, ferries * **Offshore Industry:** Oil & gas platforms, drilling rigs, FPSOs * **Specialized Vessels:** Research vessels, naval support ships ## Why Choose Our Totally Enclosed Lifeboat?
