Survival craft systems and equipment
The Institution has submitted a paper commenting on IMO paper MSC/20/9 concerning deficiencies on lifeboat matters, for consideration at MSC 98. The Institution has become aware that a number of the associated expected performance requirements are not addressed in revisions to SOLAS Ch III or in the LSA Code. The Institution is concerned that currently approved survival craft systems and equipment will not be able to fulfil the requirements of regulations based on these performance requirements that will eventually apply to alternative designs and arrangements of survival craft systems.
