Lifeboat Release Mechanisms

Lifeboat release mechanisms are safety devices that securely hold a lifeboat in place during boarding and transport, then safely release it into the water when needed. They typically involve a locking system that can be remotely or manually disengaged, often using hydraulic, electric, or manual triggers. Once activated, the mechanism frees the lifeboat from its stowed position, allowing it to be lowered into the water quickly and safely during emergencies. Proper design ensures controlled, stable deployment to protect passengers and crew during evacuation.
