Ensuring safety onboard is critical for smooth and incident-free maritime operations. Rigging and height safety gear are fundamental for protecting crew members working at height and handling heavy loads. Proper equipment such as safety harnesses, fall arrestors, helmets, and rigging tools not only prevent accidents but also ensure operational efficiency during cargo handling, maintenance, and deck operations. SolankiShip Care provides certified safety and rigging equipment for vessels calling at major and minor ports across India.

1. Safety Harnesses, Fall Arrestors & Helmets for Crew Protection
Crew members often work at significant heights or in challenging deck conditions. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is crucial to prevent falls and injuries.

Key Safety Gear:
• Safety harnesses for secure attachment during work at height
• Fall arrestors to stop falls safely and reduce impact
• Helmets with chin straps for head protection in rigging zones

Why They Matter
These safety tools protect crew members from serious injuries during maintenance, cargo operations, or emergency situations. Certified PPE ensures compliance with maritime safety regulations and builds a safety-conscious onboard culture.

2. Rigging Tools for Efficient Load Handling
Proper rigging equipment enables safe lifting, securing, and movement of cargo and shipboard materials.

Essential Rigging Tools:
• Shackles for connecting chains, slings, and lifting gear
• Pulleys for load direction and mechanical advantage
• Wire rope slings for secure lifting and cargo support

Why They Matter
Reliable rigging tools reduce the risk of accidents, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure that cargo handling meets safety standards. High-quality rigging gear withstands heavy loads and harsh marine conditions.

3. Rope Access Kits for Maintenance at Height
Maintenance at height, such as cleaning masts, inspecting deck equipment, or repairing superstructures, requires specialized rope access solutions.

Key Components:
• Rope access kits with certified ropes, carabiners, and descenders
• Fall protection lanyards for controlled movement
• Work positioning equipment for secure and hands-free operations

Why They Matter
Rope access kits allow safe and precise execution of maintenance tasks at height, reducing the risk of falls and improving operational efficiency without disrupting vessel activities.

4. Certified Safety Equipment for Reliable Performance
Marine safety gear must meet international standards and withstand harsh sea conditions.

Marine Suitability Factors:
• Certified and tested equipment for compliance with maritime safety norms
• Durable materials resistant to corrosion, wear, and UV exposure
• Ergonomic designs for comfort and extended use
• Regular inspection and maintenance protocols

Why They Matter
Using certified safety equipment ensures maximum protection, operational reliability, and legal compliance, providing peace of mind to crew and management alike.
