LSA inspection regime should be examined

摘要

A common approach is needed for inspections to all types of lifesaving equipment, believes Andrew Sheriff, business director for regulatory products and services at Wilhelmsen Ships Service (WSS).Speaking to SASI during a briefing in London in September, Sheriff contrasted the inspection regimes in place for firefighting, liferafts and lifeboats. "There needs to be a middle way," Sheriff said - one in which multi-brand service companies, such as WSS, are enabled to carry out inspections.
