Every lifeboat which is fitted with a fixed two-way VHF radiotelephone apparatus with an antenna which is separately mounted shall be provided with arrangements for siting and securing the antenna effectively in its operating position.

Every lifeboat shall be fitted with a release device to enable the forward painter to be released when under tension.

The mechanism shall be designed with a factor of safety of six based on the ultimate strength of the materials used, assuming the mass of the lifeboat is equally distributed between the falls.

The release control shall be clearly marked in a color that contrasts with its surroundings,.

This release capability shall be adequately protected against accidental or premature use.

LIFEBOAT EXERCISE FULL

This release shall be so arranged as to release the lifeboat under any conditions of loading from no-load with the lifeboat waterborne to a load of 1.1 times the total mass of the lifeboat when loaded with its full complement of persons and equipment. 2 an on-load release capability which will release the lifeboat with a load on the books.A normal release capability which will release the lifeboat when it is waterborne or when there is no load on the hooks.The mechanism shall have two release capabilities as follows:.The mechanism shall be so arranged that all hooks are released simultaneously.Every lifeboat to be launched by a fall or falls shall be fitted with a release mechanism complying with the following requirements:.All lifeboats shall be fitted with sufficient watertight lockers or compartments to provide for the storage of the small items of equipment, water and provisions required, Means shall be provided for the storage of collected rainwater.The handholds shall be fastened to the lifeboat In such a way that, when subjected to an impact sufficient to cause them to break away from the lifeboat, they break away without damaging the lifeboat. Lifeboats which are not self-righting when capsized shall have suitable handholds on the underside or the hull to enable persons to cling to the lifeboat.Except in the vicinity of the rudder and propeller, a buoyant lifeline shall be becketed around the outside or the lifeboat.The rudder and tiller shall be so arranged as not to be damaged by operation of the release mechanism or the propeller. The tiller shall be permanently installed on, or linked to, the rudder stock however, if the lifeboat has a remote steering mechanism, the tiller may be removable and securely stowed near the rudder stock. The rudder shall be permanently attached to the lifeboat. When a wheel or other remote steering mechanism is also provided, the tiller shall be capable of controlling the rudder in case of failure of the steering mechanism. All lifeboats shall be provided with a rudder and tiller.Drain valves shall be readily accessible from inside the lifeboat and their position shall be clearly indicated. Valve shall be provided with a cap or plug to close the valve, which shall be attached to the lifeboat by a lanyard, a chain, or other suitable means. All lifeboats shall be provided with at least one drain valve fitted near the lowest point in the hull, which shall automatically open to drain water from the hull when the lifeboat is not waterborne and shall automatically close to prevent entry of water when.Motor Engineering вЂ“ MEO CLASS 4 MMD PAPERДЄs per SOLAS Chapter 3, Regulation 41 ,General requirements for lifeboats Lifeboat fittings.GENERAL ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE вЂ“ MEO CLASS 4 MMD PAPER.Naval Architecture вЂ“ MEO CLASS 4 WRITTEN PAPER.Previous Years MMD Function wise Questions.EXERCISE 37- LONGITUDE BY CHRONOMETER STAR.
