Facts and Figures|Our services for your safety

As a consequence of the regulations for maintenance and service, from July 1, 2006 onward, classification societies and flag state administrations require strict service. In fact, more than 6,000 Hatecke lifeboat systems need to be inspected annually, once every five years. We ensure this with our Hatecke Service team and our worldwide partners.

We manage all our activities from Drochtersen, Germany.
