Don't drop the lifeboat

摘要

As reported recently by the MAIB, a large multi-role vessel was alongside a lay-by berth towards the end of an annual refit. As part of this, the eight davit-launched, fully enclosed lifeboats had been overhauled ashore and refitted on board. Work on the lifeboats included overhauling the on-load release gear, including load testing in a test rig.
