SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE OF
    LIFEBOATS, LAUNCHING
   APPLIANCES AND ON-LOAD
        RELEASE GEAR
                               (IMO)

   Programa preparado com base nas “Guidelines” da IMO
                   MSC.1 / Circ.1206 – Annex 1 – Junho 2009




                                                              1
Objectives:

1.The objective of these Guidelines is to establish a uniform, safe and documented
performance of periodic servicing and maintenance of lifeboats, launching
appliances and on-load release gear.




                                                             2
Objectives:


2. These Guidelines relate to the application of the
ISM Code to periodic servicing and maintenance of
lifeboat arrangements and should therefore be
reflected in procedures developed for a ship under
that Code.

3 The general principle in these Guidelines may
also be applied for the periodic servicing and
maintenance of liferafts, rescue boats and fast
rescue boats and their launching appliances and
release gear.



                                                       3
Solas Regulations:

These Guidelines relate to the
requirements contained in:

1. SOLAS regulation III/20
Operational readiness,
maintenance and inspections;
and

2. SOLAS regulation III/36
Instructions for on-board
maintenance.



                                 4
Specific procedures for maintenance and servicing:

General

1.1 Any inspection, servicing and repair should be carried out
according to the system for inspection and services developed
by the manufacturer.

1.2 A full set of maintenance manuals and associated
documentation issued by the manufacturer should be available
on board for use in all operations involved in the inspection,
maintenance, adjustment and re-setting of the lifeboat and
associated equipment, such as davits and release gear.

1.3 The manufacturer’s system for inspection and services
should include the following items as a minimum.

                                                             5
Reports and Records:

All reports and checklists
should be correctly filled out
and signed by the person who
carries
out the inspection and
maintenance work and should
also be signed by the
company’s representative
or the ship’s master.




                                 6
Reports and Records:

Records of inspections, servicing,
repairs and maintenance should
be updated and filed
onboard the ship.

When repairs, thorough servicing
and annual servicing are
completed, a statement
confirming
that the lifeboat arrangements
remain fit for purpose should be
issued by the manufacturer’s
representative or by the person
certified by the manufacturer for
the work.


                                     7
Annual Thorough Examination:
                                                                       Appendix to MSC.1 / Circ.1206


1. As items listed in checklists for the weekly/monthly inspections also form the first
part of the annual thorough examination, when carrying out this examination the
inspection of these items should be performed by the ship’s crew in the presence of
the manufacturer’s representative or a person appropriately trained and certified by
the manufacturer for the work to be done.

2. Inspection and maintenance records of inspections and routine maintenance
carried out by the ship’s crew and the applicable certificates for the launching
appliances and equipment should be available.

3 Repairs and replacement of parts should be carried out in accordance with the
manufacturer’s requirements and standards.



                                                                8
Annual Thorough Examination: Lifeboats

The following items should be examined and checked
for satisfactory condition and operation:

.1 condition of lifeboat structure including fixed and
loose equipment;
.2 engine and propulsion system;
.3 sprinkler system, where fitted;
.4 air supply system, where fitted;
.5 manoeuvring system;
.6 power supply system; and
.7 bailing system.

                                                         9
Annual Thorough Examination:
Release gear

The following should be examined for satisfactory
condition and operation after the annual winch
brake test with the empty boat:

.1 operation of devices for activation of release
gear;
.2 excessive free play (tolerances);
.3 hydrostatic interlock system, where fitted;
.4 cables for control and release; and
.5 hook fastening.



                                                    10
Annual Thorough Examination:
Release gear operational test of on-load release function

.1 position the lifeboat partially into the water such that the mass of the boat is
substantially supported by the falls and the hydrostatic interlock system, where
fitted, is not triggered;
.2 operate the on-load release gear;
.3 reset the on-load release gear; and
.4 examine the release gear and hook fastening to ensure that the hook is
completely reset and no damage has occurred.




                                                                 11

Brake Test
1 Annual operational
testing should
preferably be done
by lowering the
empty boat. When
the boat has reached
its maximum
lowering speed and
before the boat
enters the water, the
brake should be
abruptly applied.


                        15
Dynamic Winch Brake Test

2 The five-year operational test should be
done by lowering the boat loaded to a proof
load equal to 1.1 times the weight of the
survival craft or rescue boat and its full
complement of persons and equipment, or
equivalent load. When the boat has reached
its maximum lowering speed and before the
boat enters the water, the brake should be
abruptly applied.

3 Following these tests, the brake pads and
stressed structural parts should be re-
inspected.

                      16

Guidelines for periodic servicing and maintenance of lifeboats

  • 1. GUIDELINES FOR PERIODIC SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE OF LIFEBOATS, LAUNCHING APPLIANCES AND ON-LOAD RELEASE GEAR (IMO) Programa preparado com base nas “Guidelines” da IMO MSC.1 / Circ.1206 – Annex 1 – Junho 2009 1
  • 2. Objectives: 1.The objective of these Guidelines is to establish a uniform, safe and documented performance of periodic servicing and maintenance of lifeboats, launching appliances and on-load release gear. 2
  • 3. Objectives: 2. These Guidelines relate to the application of the ISM Code to periodic servicing and maintenance of lifeboat arrangements and should therefore be reflected in procedures developed for a ship under that Code. 3 The general principle in these Guidelines may also be applied for the periodic servicing and maintenance of liferafts, rescue boats and fast rescue boats and their launching appliances and release gear. 3
  • 4. Solas Regulations: These Guidelines relate to the requirements contained in: 1. SOLAS regulation III/20 Operational readiness, maintenance and inspections; and 2. SOLAS regulation III/36 Instructions for on-board maintenance. 4
  • 5. Specific procedures for maintenance and servicing: General 1.1 Any inspection, servicing and repair should be carried out according to the system for inspection and services developed by the manufacturer. 1.2 A full set of maintenance manuals and associated documentation issued by the manufacturer should be available on board for use in all operations involved in the inspection, maintenance, adjustment and re-setting of the lifeboat and associated equipment, such as davits and release gear. 1.3 The manufacturer’s system for inspection and services should include the following items as a minimum. 5
  • 6. Reports and Records: All reports and checklists should be correctly filled out and signed by the person who carries out the inspection and maintenance work and should also be signed by the company’s representative or the ship’s master. 6
  • 7. Reports and Records: Records of inspections, servicing, repairs and maintenance should be updated and filed onboard the ship. When repairs, thorough servicing and annual servicing are completed, a statement confirming that the lifeboat arrangements remain fit for purpose should be issued by the manufacturer’s representative or by the person certified by the manufacturer for the work. 7
  • 8. Annual Thorough Examination: Appendix to MSC.1 / Circ.1206 1. As items listed in checklists for the weekly/monthly inspections also form the first part of the annual thorough examination, when carrying out this examination the inspection of these items should be performed by the ship’s crew in the presence of the manufacturer’s representative or a person appropriately trained and certified by the manufacturer for the work to be done. 2. Inspection and maintenance records of inspections and routine maintenance carried out by the ship’s crew and the applicable certificates for the launching appliances and equipment should be available. 3 Repairs and replacement of parts should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements and standards. 8
  • 9. Annual Thorough Examination: Lifeboats The following items should be examined and checked for satisfactory condition and operation: .1 condition of lifeboat structure including fixed and loose equipment; .2 engine and propulsion system; .3 sprinkler system, where fitted; .4 air supply system, where fitted; .5 manoeuvring system; .6 power supply system; and .7 bailing system. 9
  • 10. Annual Thorough Examination: Release gear The following should be examined for satisfactory condition and operation after the annual winch brake test with the empty boat: .1 operation of devices for activation of release gear; .2 excessive free play (tolerances); .3 hydrostatic interlock system, where fitted; .4 cables for control and release; and .5 hook fastening. 10
  • 11. Annual Thorough Examination: Release gear operational test of on-load release function .1 position the lifeboat partially into the water such that the mass of the boat is substantially supported by the falls and the hydrostatic interlock system, where fitted, is not triggered; .2 operate the on-load release gear; .3 reset the on-load release gear; and .4 examine the release gear and hook fastening to ensure that the hook is completely reset and no damage has occurred. 11
  • 12. Annual Thorough Examination: Release gear operational test of off- load release function .1 position the lifeboat fully waterborne; .2 operate the off-load release gear; .3 reset the on-load release gear; and .4 recover the lifeboat to the stowed position and prepare for operational readiness. 12
  • 13. Annual Thorough Examination: Davit The following items should be examined for satisfactory condition and operation: .1 davit structure, in particular with regard to corrosion, misalignments, deformations and excessive free play; .2 wires and sheaves, possible damages such as kinks and corrosion; .3 lubrication of wires, sheaves and moving parts; .4 functioning of limit switches; .5 stored power systems; and .6 hydraulic systems. 13
  • 14. Annual Thorough Examination: Winch The following items should be examined for satisfactory condition and operation: .1 open and inspect brake mechanism; .2 replace brake pads, if necessary; .3 remote control system; .4 power supply system; and .5 winch foundation. 14
  • 15. Dynamic Winch Brake Test 1 Annual operational testing should preferably be done by lowering the empty boat. When the boat has reached its maximum lowering speed and before the boat enters the water, the brake should be abruptly applied. 15
  • 16. Dynamic Winch Brake Test 2 The five-year operational test should be done by lowering the boat loaded to a proof load equal to 1.1 times the weight of the survival craft or rescue boat and its full complement of persons and equipment, or equivalent load. When the boat has reached its maximum lowering speed and before the boat enters the water, the brake should be abruptly applied. 3 Following these tests, the brake pads and stressed structural parts should be re- inspected. 16
  • 17. Overhaul of on-load release gear Overhaul of on-load release gear includes: .1 dismantling of hook release units; .2 examination with regard to tolerances and design requirements; .3 adjustment of release gear system after assembly; .4 operational test as per above and with a load according to SOLAS regulation III/20.11.2.3;and .5 examination of vital parts with regard to defects and cracks. 17
