Features such as installation and maintenance efficiency and lifelong service have been emphasized during development. The Torpedo lifeboat will comply with the new DNV/Norwegian Oil Industry Association (OLF) standard for design of freefall lifeboats (DNV-OS-E406). The Torpedo lifeboat will increase safety compared to standard lifeboats for vessels, floating rigs, Jack-Up rigs, FPSOs and installations worldwide.

Features
- Its design and hull strength means that the lifeboat can withstand  extreme
 drop heights and harsh/severe weather conditions
- The combination of design and weight reduces retardation tremendously
 and therefore also the forces that act on personnel onboard
- Forward speed and distance from drop site after resurfacing are more
 than doubled compared to standard design free-fall lifeboats
- The Torpedo free-fall lifeboat is less affected by drop angle
 and height, wave height and patterns, wind forces and direction
 – compared to standard design free-fall lifeboats
- The torpedo lifeboat has unique directional stability in the dive
 and also when penetrating and moving through water
- A new seat and belt system has been developed to satisfy the IMO/DNV
 boarding time requirements
