this ship is only shuttling between two ports - distance is 3.5 miles.
in case of emergency they have a lot of inflatable life rafts (see in front of the davits).
Additionally lifeboats would not make much sense. In the area (at Messina and Reggio Calabria) are sufficient rescue vessels around, (navy, pilot boats, tugs, etc. which could assist in a distress faster than they could swing out any boats :-D
brgds, Captain Peter
