Safety during abandon ship drills using lifeboats

摘要

The Sub-Committee agreed draft guidelines on safety during abandon ship drills using lifeboats for submission to MSC 98 for approval. The guidelines provide detailed information on safely carrying out drills using lifeboats and for simulated launching of free-fall lifeboats during drills, and are aimed at shipowners, ship operators, ship-vetting organizations, ship personnel, surveyors, manufacturers and other parties. The guidelines stem from annex 2 to the Measures to prevent accidents with lifeboats (MSC. 1/Circ. 1206/Rev. 1).
