Pier Head with Lifeboats and Davits

The pierhead facility has two Totally Enclosed lifeboats on outrigger davits, one Semi Enclosed lifeboat on a single pivot gravity davit and a slewing single arm davit for Davit Launched Liferaft operations and the launching & recovery of rescue boats.

There is also a Selantic Escape System (the vertical net chute) for use on Offshore courses.

As an addition, we also have two open lifeboats (kept in the water) and a pontoon for transfer and throwover liferaft exercises.
