different lifejacket needs.
advantage
This will guide you with vital information about typical use
as well as details about all the components that make up
a SOLAS lifejacket including quality, durability, service and
ordering.
Choosing the right lifejacket is an important decision and we
aim to help you make the right choice - the first time around.

New lifejacket concept
VIKING’s inflatable lifejackets are built around a modular
design for a tailor-made solution.
Complete integration of components
The new series has a general design philosophy that allows for complete
integration of optional components. And with a selection of buoyancy,
different closure types (buckles), cover materials, colours and a host of
accessories, you can configure a lifejacket according to specific needs.
SOLAS regulations
According to regulations, all lifejackets must come with a light, whistle,
reflective tape, lifting strap, buddy line and two automatic inflation systems.
For added safety VIKING has mounted a crotch strap on all lifejackets as well.
And no matter how you design your VIKING inflatable lifejacket it will fulfil
existing and future SOLAS requirements as described in MSC-200(81).

Maritime environments
Working on a cargo vessel, rough conditions are just
part of another day at sea.
Being on deck and handling heavy equipment calls for durable life-saving
equipment.
With VIKING lifejackets, a variety of choices can be made to meet these tough
demands. For example, choosing a durable Cordura® cover protects your
lifejacket to ensure it will function properly during any emergency.

Offshore wind power
You’re 30 meters above sea level, climbing a stainless
steel ladder with the wind blowing 25m/s.
There’s no room for mistakes.
Knowing how important life-saving equipment is in such situations, VIKING has
developed a lifejacket with an integrated harness to ensure maximum safety.

Offshore welding
When you’re standing welding pipes offshore on level C,
you still have to be ready for emergencies.
VIKING introduces a lifejacket with radiant heat-resistant aluminized cover,
specially designed for offshore welders.
You can focus on your job because you know that, in an emergency, your
VIKING lifejacket will be both functional and reliable.

Industrial environments
Oil, grease and dirt are just part of a normal working day.
Without compromising safety, the VIKING range offers industrial environments
a variety of ways to ensure long-lasting safety equipment.
With greasy environments for example, there’s a wipe-clean cover that ensures
easy maintenance and extended use.

How to design your
own lifejacket
VIKING makes it easy to configure a lifejacket tailor-made
to work conditions in a few easy steps.
First select the appropriate buoyancy. Then pick a cover material; buckle style;
inflation system and light.
If you want to add a sprayhood, a PLB (personal locator beacon) or both,
just check the appropriate boxes on the check list on page 34 or tell your
VIKING contact.

www.VIKING-life.com
Buoyancy
Buoyancy is an upward acting force, caused by fluid pressure
that keeps things afloat. The higher the Newton number (N)
the higher the buoyancy.
Rule of thumb: For general use, select 180N. For situations when extra weight is
carried, select 275N.
As asymmetrical chambers offer faster and better turning capabilities, select a
275N asymmetrical when extra weight is carried, e.g. heavy tool belts.

All VIKING buoyancy chambers are high frequency welded for the strongest
solution and added safety.
Principle of
Archimedes
275N Symmetrical
275N Asymmetrical
Any object, wholly or
partially immersed
in a fluid, is buoyed
up by a force equal
to the weight of the
fluid displaced by the
object.

Hammar
Inflation system
All SOLAS lifejackets must have two independent automatic
inflation systems – one on each buoyancy chamber.
VIKING offers two types of inflation systems:
Choices
n Halkey Roberts
n Hammar
About Halkey Roberts
The Halkey Roberts inflation system activates the lifejacket when in contact with
water (or when strap is pulled). It is mounted on the outside of the buoyancy
chamber, which makes it very easy to service.
About Hammar
Used in industries where water splashes are common. The lifejacket inflates
when under hydrostatic pressure (10 cm below water surface) or when strap is
pulled. Unit is mounted inside the buoyancy chamber.

Light
The light is a single compact flashing unit designed to deliver,
as a minimum standard, the 0.75cd output specification and 8
hour duration required by IMO SOLAS regulations. It works in in
fresh or salt water.
Choices
n Automatic
n Manual
About Automatic
Activates automatically when in water and stays activated even if the light is
above water.
About Manual
Activation takes place manually by rotation of the light glass. A manual light can
be turned off to preserve valuable battery time.

About Sprayhood
The sprayhood reduces water splashes to the face, reduces stress and reflex
reactions and therefore enhances survival. It also gives the wearer better visibility
to navigate in harsh weather conditions.
About Personal Locator Beacon (PLB)
Primarily used in the offshore and wind energy industries a PLB provides global
coverage, so that you are found quickly, even in the most remote of locations.
VIKING can equip your lifejacket with a PLB pocket and supply the actual beacon
as well.

Delivery
Where and when do you need your lifejackets?
VIKING’s global logistics means that you can get your lifejackets where and
when you need them. We design our stock and delivery packages around your
needs, including central stock points, orders packed per vessel/platform or as
one consignment.
Our global network of subsidiaries, agents and servicing stations means that
we can deliver locally where you need us.
Service
What happens when your lifejacket needs to be serviced?
VIKING certified servicing stations follow strict guidelines for servicing VIKING’s
products. Our unique worldwide network of servicing stations is supported by
certified educational programmes, spare parts supply and constantly updated
online information and manuals that ensure that all products delivered for
servicing are subjected to thorough and comprehensive tests for total quality
assurance.
What is the difference between servicing
an inflatable vs. a solid lifejacket?
All inflatable SOLAS lifejackets must be serviced once a year by a VIKING
certified servicing station.
There is no regulation covering servicing of solid SOLAS lifejackets. However,
an annual inspection by a certified servicing station is strongly recommended.
