SOLAS Lifebuoy NZ — 4.3kg MED Certified Life Ring | Orange

The heavier-duty option in the LSP lifebuoy range, the 4.3kg SOLAS lifebuoy is designed for larger commercial vessels, passenger ferries, and offshore installations where a more robust and highly visible life ring is required. Fully compliant with the latest SOLAS and IMO requirements, EC and RINA certified, and checked by Maritime NZ surveyors during vessel inspections.
