Survitec introduces new lifeboat fall preventer device

摘要

British company Survitec Group has developed a new Fall Preventer Device (FPD) to help reduce the number of accidents caused by the failure of on-load lifeboat release hooks. Following a number of accidents, ship owners are being advised to ensure that all vessels are now equipped with this category of device. This is to ensure compliance with MSC guidance circular 1327. Survitec's FPD comes with a Lloyd's Register certificate as standard.
