EXTRACT - DE 51/8/7

INDUSTRY LIFEBOAT GROUP INDUSTRY LIFEBOAT GROUP

(ILG) (ILG)

Tragically, lifeboat accidents leading to injury and death of ship’s crews continue to occur

A common cause of such accidents is the premature opening of the lifeboat’s on-load release mechanism when the lifeboat is suspended during maintenance, testing, drills, and

launching and recovery operations

Initial proposals regarding design requirements for lifeboat release mechanisms that are safe in operation and in the event of a mechanical or operational failure will remain closed until the lifeboat is either afloat or is secured in an otherwise safe condition
