Liferaft Service and Recertification

Winslow's factory service department performs routine maintenance, repairs and service inspections on all Winslow liferafts. All test results and repairs are recorded on a service inspection report kept on file, a service validation certificate is issued, and serviced rafts are returned by FedEx or UPS. Only Winslow authorized service stations have the latest technical data, original parts, approved packing fixtures and factory-trained technicians; the network includes marine and aviation stations in the USA, Italy, UAE, Brazil, Germany, Canada, Australia, England, France, Switzerland, Singapore, Guernsey and India.
