MBNA Thames Clippers who operate a fleet of high speed vessels on London’s famous River Thames has chosen LSA liferafts for installation on two new 36m catamaran ferries built by Incat.
Galaxy Clipper and Neptune Clipper will enter service on the River Thames in September 2015 and will each be equipped with 2 x LSA 128 (150) person open reversible liferafts.
A deployment test was conducted in Hobart on 17th July when 150 persons were evacuated into one liferaft in under 9 mins from the sounding of the general alarm.
