LIFEBOAT LOWERING PROSEDURE

1. MAKE FAST PAINTER FWD N AFT AT SHIPS BOLLARD

 2. REMOVE BATTERY CHARGER
3. PLUG IN BOTTOM DRAIN PLUG
4. REMOVE LASHING
5. REMOVE FWD N AFT HARBOUR PIN
6. REMOVE SAFETY PIN FROM WINCH BRAKE
7. SLOWLY LOWER LB TO MD LEVEL
8. TEST HEAVING UP TO ENSURE MOTOR WINCH IN FUNCTIONAL
9. CONTINUE LOWERING LB SLOWLY BY CONTROLLING THE BRAKE
10. ONCE ON WATER LEVEL, RELEASE FWD N AFT PAINTER N KEEP AWAY FROM DANGER.

WHY FORWARD LIFERAFT DOES NOT REQUIRE HRU?

 A LIFERAFT STOWED FORWARD AT A DISTANCE OF OVER 100M FROM OTHER SURVIVAL

CRAFT DOES NOT NEED BE FITTED WITH AN HRU. THIS IS BECAUSE THE UNIT MAY RELEASE
THE LIFERAFT AFTER BECOMING SUBMERGED IN HEAVY BOW SEAS

QUANTITY OF LSA REQUIREMENT ONBOARD

LIFEBUOYS:

LIFEJACKETS N IMMERSION SUITS:

 EACH PERSON 1 (INSIDE CABIN)

 EXTRA FOR WATCHKEEPERS (BRIDGE,CCR & ECR)
 CHILD LIFEJACKET ATLEAST 10% OF TOTAL PASSENGERS OR ONE FOR EACH

THERMAL PROTECTIVE AIDS:

 10% OF THE LIFEBOAT / LIFERAFT / RESCUE BOAT CAPACITY OR TWO, WHICHEVER IS THE

GREATER.

LIFERAFT:

 should be enough to accommodate at least 125% of the number of passengers and crew

PYTOTECHNIC:

 IN EACH LB
 - 2 SMOKE SIGNAL
- 4 ROCKET PARACHUTE
- 6 HAND FLARES

 BRIDGE
- 4 LTA
- 12 ROCKET PARACHUTE

Why there is only one lifeboat if it’s stowed at stern but 2 lifeboats if stowed one the ship’s

side?

 AS PER SOLAS REQUIREMENTS FOR FREE FALL KENA ADA SATU JER... (KOR KENA CARI "AYAT
FACT" KAT SOLAS LA BAB TU). TP IF LOGICALLY SPEAKING. IF SHIP HAVE FIRE ON PORT SIDE
PPL CAN BOARD ON STARBOARD SIDE AND VIS- VERSA... IF ASTERN ONLY ONE AND ALL CAN
ASSEMBLE KAT STERN JER....

SOLAS PACK A & SOLAS PACK B DIFF


 EQP DIFFS OF ONE ANOTHER:

LIFEBUOY RATIO ON BOARD A VESSEL

 At least one lifebuoy on each side of the ship must be fitted with a buoyant lifeline.
 Not less than one half of the total number of lifebuoys must be provided with self-igniting
lights.
 Not less than two of these must also be provided with lifebuoy self-activating signals and be
capable of quick release from the navigation bridge.

 NOT SUSTAIN BURNED FOR 2 SECS
 COVER ALL BODY EXCEPT FACE
 CAN CLIMB 5M VERTICAL LADDER
 CAN PERFORM DUTIES
 CAN JUMP 4.5M
 CAN SWIM

LIFERAFT LAUNCHING

AUTO LAUNCH

 WHEN THE SHIP SINKS UP TO 1.5M to 4 METRES, THE WATER PRESSURE WILL ACTIVATE A
SHARP KNIFE IN THE HRU
 IT WILL CUT THE SECURING ROPE AROUND THE CONTAINER/CANISTER OF THE RAFT AND
THE RAFT WILL FLOAT FREE
 AS THE SHIP SINKS FURTHER, THE PAINTER LINE WILL STRETCH AND IT WILL INFLATE THE
LIFE RAFT
 DUE TO THE INCREASE IN BUOYANT PRESSURE, THE WEAK LINK WILL BREAK AT AROUND 2.2
KN +/- 0.4 AND THE RAFT WILL BE ON THE SURFACE

MANUAL LAUNCH

 TAKE OUT THE PAINTER OF THE RAFT

 FASTEN IT TO THE SHIP SIDE AT A STRONG POINT
  REMOVE THE RAILING AND CHECK OVERBOARD FOR ANY OBSTRUCTIONS
 UNFASTEN THE HOOK FROM THE CRADLE
 TWO PEOPLE CAN LIFT THE LIFE RAFT AND THROW IT OVERBOARD
 AFTER ITS THROWN, PULL JERK THE PAINTER SHARP UNTIL THE LIFE RAFT INFLATES
 WITH THE PAINTER, PULL IT TOWARDS THE SHIP SIDE
 LOWER THE EMBARKATION LADDER OR JUMP DIRECTLY ONTO THE LIFE RAFT DEPENDING
ON THE SITUATION AND THE TIME AT HAND
 SIT ORDER WIDE FACE TO FACE TO PREVENT ANY IMBALANCE
 ENSURE SART AND EPIRB HAVE BEEN CARRIED
 TAKE A HEADCOUNT
 CUT THE PAINTER USING THE KNIFE GIVEN AND USING THE PADDLE OR THE ANCHOR, CLEAR
AWAY FROM THE SHIP
