Markus Lifenet Servicing - MarkusNet Approved UK Service Station

MarkusNet and Scramble-Net Servicing Requirements

Regular servicing of your MarkusNet or Markus Scramble-Net is essential to make sure the equipment performs safely and reliably during a real rescue. These nets are critical lifesaving tools, so keeping them in top condition protects both your crew and those you may need to recover from the water.

Service Intervals and Usage Checks

Every MarkusNet and Scramble-Net must be taken to a manufacturer-approved service station within five years from the date it was made, and then every five years after that. The equipment must also be inspected after any use in an actual rescue. If the net is used during training, it should be clearly marked as training equipment and packed by the vessel’s safety officer.

Each time the net is used, either in training or during a real MOB recovery, or when it is taken for inspection, the event must be recorded in the ship’s diary. Keeping accurate records ensures no service date is missed and helps maintain compliance and readiness on board.
