Survival Craft. A Seafarer's Guide/Ремесло выживания. Путеводитель для моряков

Издание на английском языке
This guide has been published by the Oil Companies International Marine Forum with the aim of providing practical information to assist seafarers with the safe operation and maintenance of survival craft. Although the main focus of the guidance is directed at personnel onboard, it will also be of interest to shore managers and company superintendents having general responsibilities for shipboard safety.
Over recent years, there have been a number of serious incidents within the industry during the inspection, maintenance and routine testing of survival craft. The root cause of many of these incidents has been identified as changes in equipment design which, in-turn, have led to a lack of familiarity with the operational and maintenance requirements of installed equipment. This is perhaps most noticeable with on-load release systems, where a large number of differing approved designs has the potential to lead to confusion with regard to the mechanism’s operation and maintenance requirements.
