SOLAS Lifebuoy Throwing Line NZ — 30 Metre Encapsulated Rescue Line

A SOLAS-compliant throwing line is a mandatory requirement on all surveyed commercial vessels — and in a man-overboard situation, getting a line to a person in the water fast is critical. This 30-metre encapsulated rescue line is stored inside a UV-resistant polyethylene tube that fits neatly inside your lifebuoy ring, keeping the line tangle-free, protected from UV degradation, and ready for instant deployment.

Throw the lifebuoy — the line pays out cleanly behind it.

Available ex-stock Auckland.

Why encapsulated?
A loose coil of rope on deck tangles, degrades in UV, and can fail to deploy cleanly when you need it most. The encapsulated design keeps the line protected, organised, and ready — critical when every second counts in a man-overboard emergency.
