SOLAS: Retroactive Measures for Lifeboats

SOLAS Chapter III Amendments applies retroactively

to ships constructed 1 July 2014

Lifeboat on-load release mechanisms not complying with newLSA Code (*) (4.4.7.6.4 to 4.4.7.6.6) requirements are to bereplaced or modified

Compliance by the first scheduled drydocking 1 July 2014,but not later than 1 J uly 2019

Lifeboat release and retrieval systemis the means by which the lifeboat is

connected to, and released from, thelifeboat falls for lowering, launch andretrieval. It comprises the hookassembly and operating mechanism

(*)Ref. (MSC.1/Circ.1392)


12/3012


New Retroactive LSA Code Amendments

Existing release mechanism to be fail-safe

Weight of lifeboat is not to transmit opening force to operatingmechanism when reset in closed position

Locking devices to be designed so they cannot open due to forces

from hook load Hydrostatic interlock - if provided

is to automatically reset uponlifting boat from water


13/3013


Evaluation process for existing release mechanisms:

Design assessment manufacturer determines compliance orextent of modification needed by 1 J uly 2013 for each type

Performance test (by manufacturer or manufacturers rep) ROwitnesses test after satisfactory review of design assessment

Evaluation results details of components and evaluation resultsreported to IMO for each system type:

Compliant or compliant after modification: remain in service

Non-compliant: to be replaced or modified to be made compliant

For compliant systems carry out overhaul exam by first drydocking

1 July 2014, if completed satisfactory, manufacturer issues factualstatement to confirm


14/3014


Replacement of non-compliant release mechanisms:

Engineering review of replacement installation

Installation and installation tests carried out by manufacturer, witnessby flag State/RO

Tests are:

1.1 times operational load release test (or hydraulic mechanisms) 2 times static load test of release gear connection to lifeboat

5 knot launching test (for LBs on cargo ships > 20k gt)

Statement of Acceptanceissued by Flag State/RO

after satisfactory completionof installation tests

Replacement by first drydocking 1 July 2014, but not later than

1 J uly 2019
