With tender boats, rescue boats, lifeboats, and matching davits, PALFINGER MARINE provides the complete LSA range for the cruise industry.

In cruise operations, lifeboats and tender boats are only as reliable as the systems that launch them. Davits must function precisely, integrate seamlessly into complex vessel designs, and remain dependable over decades of operation.

Additionally, fast rescue boats are a critical part of the safety architecture. They must launch quickly, operate reliably, and give crews full control.

We also deliver Polar Code‑compliant lifesaving appliances, meeting the toughest regulatory requirements.

Our experienced team supports ship owners in selecting the right Polar package, tailored to vessel capacity, polar‑service temperature, and mean daily low temperature (MDLT) – ensuring full compliance and operational safety in extreme conditions.

Through advanced engineering, tailored solutions, and specialized services, PALFINGER MARINE is the trusted expert for deck equipment in the cruise sector.

Our cranes serve as versatile and reliable tools for repair work on large components and for efficient provisioning and cargo handling.

On cruise vessels, they also act as dependable tendering systems for boats and jet skis.

In addition, PALFINGER MARINE offers a comprehensive portfolio of anchor and mooring winches designed for cruise ships, ferries, and yachts – delivering robust performance and long‑term reliability at sea.

PALFINGER Slipway Systems optimize the launch and recovery of excursion boats directly from the vessel’s sheltered hangar – shielded from wind, waves, and spray. This enables expedition cruise guests to board comfortably, in a controlled environment, and enjoy a seamless transition from ship to shore.

Designed for high-frequency operations, the system supports efficient turnaround times and smooth logistics, even when operating in challenging sea states typical of polar regions or remote coastal waters.

We are continuously developing our fender solutions to meet the demands of tomorrow. With innovative options such as uniquely colored fenders, protective jackets, and custom lifting arrangements, PALFINGER MARINE remains your trusted supplier of high‑quality, innovative fenders.

For cruise vessels and ports, we deliver both pneumatic (rubber) and foam‑filled fenders, each customizable to match specific customer requirements.
