1 Design Basis
The BH-R4 rescue-boat is designed and built according to the IMO
“International Convention on Safety of Life at sea 1974” and all its update
amendments including the 1996 revision of Chapter III and the inception of the
associated International Life-saving Appliance Code (LSA Code). Every test
meets the requirements about rigid rescue-boat of IMO “Life-saving Appliances
Test” and IMO Resolution MSC. 81(70).

2 Main Parameters

Mould Length 4190 mm

Mould Breadth 1700 mm
Breadth over all 1760 mm
Mould Depth 840 mm
Occupants 6 persons
Speed >6 Knots
Boat weight (light) 650 Kg
Boat Weight (fully laden) 1145 kg

3 Material
3.1 The hull is constructed by hand lay up with G.R.P. material. The hull and
the inner hull are separately laminated . The space between the hull and
the inner hull is filled with polyurethane foam as buoyancy.
3.2 All mats , woven roving and resins applied on boat is accompanied by
classification society certificates
3.3 All fittings on this boat are made of stainless steel, marine grade
aluminum copper or galvanized steel. In order to increase the boat’s
corrosion-resistant performance.

4 Stability and Buoyancy

4.1 The polyurethane foam filled in the space between the hull and the inner
hull provides sufficient buoyancy for the rescue boat to prevent the boat
from sinking when damaged.
4.2 The boat is designed to be of sufficient stability and freeboard when it’s
loaded with its complements and equipment.

5 Strength
The construction of the boat is designed according to relevant rules to
ensure that the boat has enough strength under every rough sea
condition.

7 Boarding
While hearing the alarm, occupants should assembly at deck near the rescue
boat immediately. Persons board the rescue boat, casualty lies on the
stretcher securely. After occupants be seated, the helmsman gives the order
to launch the rescue boat. The single arm davit lift the boat to water. When
the boat in water, the occupant unfastens the boat from the hook.

4
8 Release system
8.1 The BH-R4 rescue boat is launched by the single arm davit on the ship.
There are three lifting mounts aboard the boat, through which the boat can be
suspended by falls from the hook on the davit.

9 Engine and steering system

9.1 BH-R4 rescue boat is powder by an outboard engine.
TOHATSU 25C3EP (gasoline outboard engine)
Power: 25HP (18.4KW)
Revolution 5000-6000 RPM
9.2 The steering console of BH-R4 rescue boat is located at starboard of the
bow where the helmsman can operate the outboard engine by remote
control cable and electric cable to maneuver the boat. The steering wheel,
tachometer and magnetic compass are located before the helmsman. The
throttle valve controller is located to the right of the helmsman.
9.3 For detailed operation procedure of the outboard engine and the spare tools,
Please refer to the outboard operation and maintenance manual supplied
with the engine.

10 Electrical equipment
10.1 Two groups of batteries are equipped every group can be used
independently to start the engine and every group can be spare for the
other. Electric unit is 12V DC.
10.2 Every group of batteries is recharged by a self-floating recharge.
Power is supplied from the davit in 42V,AC.
10.3 The batteries should be inspected regularly and when the cell voltage
felled down to 1.7V,it should not be allowed to be used any more.
10.4 The same type should be chosen when replacing the batteries.

11 Loose Equipment
All rescue boat equipment required by the International Convention for the
Safety of Life at Sea 1974 (SOLAS 74) as amended, including the 1996
revision of Chapter III and the inception of the associated International
Life-Saving Appliance Code (LSA Code), Regulation 5.1.2. are provided.
For details please refer to “Equipment Guide”

12 Test and Certification

Before delivery, every boat will be tested according to our production
test program in our shipyard in presence of the corresponding surveyors
and then the boat certification will be issued.

13 Sea Conditions
It is very beneficial for the rescue boat commander to listen to local weather

5
 and sea conditions forecasting. The following table can be referred to when
necessary.

14 Rescuing
It is full of difficulties and dangers to rescue at sea. Dangers may occur both to
the persons on board for the rough of the sea or the mis-operation of the boat
and to the persons to be rescued for the improperly use of the rescue tools
which should be used skillfully or of rescue method which should be born in
mind by the persons on board. Or, injuries maybe occur, and even worse sea
water maybe flood into the boat. So, the rescue training should be carried out
normally.

6
The following rescuing procedure should be born in mind:

1). The coxswain give orders and decides at which side of the boat would be
used to pick up the sinker. Generally at port.

2). Steer the boat towards the sinker till the bow is 1.5 m apart from him.
Operate the boat slowly to close the boat to the sinker.

3). Stop the engine and help the sinker to climb up the ladder installed at the
stern to inboard.

4). If the sinker can not move by himself, the following steps should be
followed( the engine can be kept running):

a). Close the boat to the sinker.

b) Use the Boat-Hook to pull the sinker to port of the boat.

c). Two persons should give their hands to pull the sinker inboard.

5). The person rescued should be laid in the boat with his legs raised even if he
is conscious. (After being taken out of water one may suffer a sudden rush of
blood pressure due to the sudden loss of outside hydrostatic pressure from
the sea). It may lead to sudden death if the person is held up right.

1). In any vessel-crack cases, all sinkers maybe suffer the hypothermia. The
treatments below should be followed:

a). If possible, replace wet clothes with dry ones

b). Put on an immersion suit or thermal bay( thermal protective aid)

c). Keep the sinker lying quietly

d). If necessary, use body heat warm the sinker by lying together in the
thermal bag, for example. Other means like warm or hot water or
soup are permissible. Alcohol is forbidden.

7). The sinkers rescued should be shifted to the mother ship or transported by
helicopter as soon as possible so that they can be medically treated.

15. Righting Appliance Arrangement

The rigid rescue boat as required to comply with the latest IMO MSC 81(70)
section 7.1.7 Righting Test (It should be demonstrated that both with and
without engine and fuel or an equivalent mass in place of the engine and fuel
tank, the rigid rescue boat is capable of being righted by not more than two

7
persons if it is inverted on the water).

key parameters:
Volume of the GRP Buoyancy: 376 Liter

Beihai Shipyard initiate such a system(part 25 in general arr.) which is installed

on the stern of the rescue boat.
