Where type approval is required, products are sourced from approved manufacturers and supplied with the applicable certification. Fast-turnaround delivery is available at ports across Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Angola.
Expired, damaged, incorrectly marked, or missing safety equipment may result in Port State Control deficiencies and operational delays.

We also verify product condition, markings, approval documentation, and expiry dates to support onboard compliance and inspection readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions - Life Raft Servicing
What personal life-saving equipment does Dolphin Marine supply?
Dolphin Marine supplies SOLAS-approved life jackets (inflatable and foam types), lifebuoys with self-igniting lights and smoke signals, immersion suits and thermal protective aids, firefighter outfits (complete with suit, boots, gloves, helmet, lamp, and axe), and SOLAS-compliant pilot ladders and accommodation ladders. All equipment is sourced from certified manufacturers and supplied with full type-approval documentation.
How often must life jackets be inspected?
SOLAS does not specify a fixed inspection interval for life jackets, but most flag state administrations and Classification Societies require annual inspection as part of the vessel’s Safety Equipment Certificate (SEC) survey. Inflatable life jackets require annual inspection of the bladder, oral inflation tube, auto-inflation mechanism, CO₂ cartridge, and light unit. Foam life jackets require annual visual inspection and buoyancy check. Dolphin Marine performs both types of inspection and issues service records.
What immersion suit types does Dolphin Marine supply?
Dolphin Marine supplies SOLAS-approved neoprene immersion suits and lightweight coated fabric immersion suits in adult sizes S through XXXL. We also carry anti-exposure suits for pilot and rescue boat crew. All suits are sourced from certified manufacturers carrying the required ISO 15027 type-approval. Immersion suit annual inspection – seam integrity test, zipper function, and retro-reflective tape check – is available at our service stations across Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Angola.
What is the SOLAS requirement for firefighter outfits aboard cargo vessels?
SOLAS Chapter II-2 Regulation 10.10 requires cargo vessels to carry a minimum of two firefighter outfits (or more, depending on vessel type and gross tonnage). Each outfit must include a heat-protective suit, boots, gloves, helmet with face shield, a safety lamp, and a fireman’s axe. Dolphin Marine supplies complete SOLAS-compliant firefighter outfits and carries out annual inspection of existing outfits aboard – including suit integrity check, boot condition, and equipment completeness verification.
Does Dolphin Marine inspect and certify pilot ladders?
Yes. Pilot ladders are subject to specific requirements under SOLAS Regulation V/23 and ISO 799-1:2019, including minimum step width (480mm), step spacing (300mm), and rope specification. Dolphin Marine supplies new SOLAS-compliant pilot ladders and inspects existing ones for compliance with these standards, issuing a compliance certificate. We also supply accommodation ladders and combination arrangements where required.
