Introducing the new and space-saving VNJY lifeboat range
We are thrilled to unveil an all-new lineup of 40- and 52-person VIKING Norsafe totally enclosed lifeboats. These boats have been meticulously designed to cater to the growing demand among shipbuilders for compact and lightweight lifeboat solutions while significantly increasing capacity.
Designed to suit a wide range of vessel types, the VNJY series sets a new standard. It achieves remarkable material reductions through cutting-edge design, resulting in decreased weight and height.
Notably, the capacity of these lifeboats has been significantly enhanced compared to previous models, all while maintaining the highest safety standards. The introduction of extra width and an updated superstructure has allowed for a thoughtful reconfiguration of seating and forward positioning of the steering, delivering superior visibility. Moreover, these design enhancements contribute to heightened lifeboat stability for added safety at sea.
Building a new vessel or platform?
When making boat and davit choices for new buildings, there are plenty of design and maintenance strategy decisions to make – as well as regulations to be aware of. Short-term savings in the first phase can quickly evaporate as operational realities take over.
VIKING offers unbeatable safety and convenience with a well-deserved reputation for solving the challenges our customers face. Choose the world’s best boats and davits – we’ll take care of the rest.
Lightweight. Compact. Lifesaving.
The benefits are many, but here we have highlighted some of the central VNJY features:
- Up to 400 kg lighter than conventional designs
- Fresh design with a shorter and wider hull
- Increased capacity with rearranged seating
- Improved serviceability by relocating central parts
- Gained visibility with steering in the front
