With the aim of full compliance with Australian regulations as well as SOLAS, Southern Star is fitted with 1 x 120man Totally Enclosed Fireproof Lifeboat (TEFLBs) on each side of the vessel. Additionally the lifeboats and davit launch system are rated for 92KG per man x 120 men in each TEFLB, thereby providing lifeboat capacity for all 120 personnel onboard from each side of the vessel, including all divers in saturation using the 2 x SPHLs.
