At 7:50 p.m. on Tuesday, September 3, Norsafe’s freefall lifeboat performed a drop from a height of 66.8 meters. This is a new world record for freefall lifeboats, and Norsafe has hereby taken back its record, which the company said has been in the company’s possession since 1999, with only two brief exceptions. The new generation freefall lifeboat, GES52, fulfils the latest standards for life-saving appliances on the Norwegian continental shelf, and will be certified for heights of up to 51 meters.
