    There are NO requirements for the dampers located in the engine room funnels to be of the gastight or watertight type (normally these dampers are located higher than 2.3 m above position 2 and accordingly they are not required to be watertight in accordance with Load Line requirements).
    The funnel flaps are not for forced ventilation they are a natural means of exhaust. Once they are closed and ER ventilation shutdown there is no air flow, and therefore no pressure differential across the dampers and if CO2 is released into the machinery space it flows to the lower levels as it is heavier than air.

5. Survival Craft & Launching arrangements (C/O, 2/O, 2/E & 3/E)

5.1 Inflatable liferaft

Guide to Inspection

  • SOLAS / CH-IV, 4.2.

    Cargo ships shall carry one or more inflatable or rigid liferafts, stowed in a position providing for easy side-to-side transfer at a single open deck level and of such aggregate capacity as will accommodate the total number of persons on board. If not stowed in a position providing for easy side-to-side transfer at a single open deck level, the total capacity available on each
    side shall be sufficient to accommodate the total number of persons on board.
    If a free-fall lifeboat is fitted, cargo ships shall have one or more inflatable or rigid liferafts, on each side of the ship, of such aggregate capacity as will accommodate the total number of persons on board. The liferafts on at least one side of the ship shall be served by launching appliances.

    For davit launched liferafts, the launching appliance shall include an automatic release hook arranged so as to prevent premature release during lowering and shall release the liferaft when waterborne. The release hook shall include a capability to release the hook under load. The on-load release control shall:
    > Be clearly differentiated from the control which activates the automatic release function;
    > Require at least two separate actions to operate;
    > Be designed such that crew members on deck can clearly observe when the release mechanism is properly and completely set.

    Every liferaft shall be stowed with its painter permanently attached to the ship.
    Each liferaft or group of liferafts shall be stowed with a float-free arrangement so that each floats free and if inflatable, inflates automatically when the ship sinks.
    Liferafts shall be so stowed as to permit manual release of one raft or container at a time from their securing arrangements.

    Some hydrostatic release manufacturers recommend that each liferaft is fitted with its own individual hydrostatic release unit (HRU), to prevent the possibility, where more than one liferaft is utilising the same release, of one of the liferafts breaking the weak link before the second or subsequent liferafts have inflated.
    When multiple liferafts are connected to a single HRU, each raft must be equipped with its own weak link. A HRU is not required for liferafts stored in the forward part of a vessel.

    The Guidelines for monthly shipboard inspection of immersion suits and anti-exposure suits (MSC/Circ.1047) are very helpful in identifying obvious problems with a suit, but do not adequately address deterioration of seams and closures (zippers, etc.) which may not be readily apparent by visual inspection. Such deterioration can be detected by pressurization of the suit with air and testing the seams and closures for leaks with a soapy water solution.

    * Refer to paragraph 3.1.3 of the Recommendation on testing of life-saving appliances, adopted by the Maritime Safety Committee of the Organization by resolution MSC.81(70) , as amended.
    .2 it will not sustain burning or continue melting after being totally enveloped in a fire for a period of 2 s;
    .3 it will cover the whole body with the exception of the face, except that covering for the hands may be provided by separate gloves which shall be permanently attached to the suit; ( Replaced by Res.MSC.207(81))
    .4 it is provided with arrangements to minimize or reduce free air in the legs of the suit; and
    .5 following a jump from a height of not less than 4.5 m into the water there is no undue ingress of water into the suit.
    2.3.1.2 An immersion suit on its own, or worn in conjunction with a lifejacket if necessary, shall have sufficient buoyancy and stability in calm fresh water to: ( Replaced byRes.MSC.207(81))
    .1 lift the mouth of an exhausted or unconscious person clear of the water by not less than 120 mm; and ( Replaced by Res.MSC.207(81))
    .2 allow the wearer to turn from a face-down to a face-up position in not more than 5 s. ( Replaced by Res.MSC.207(81))
    2.3.1.3 An immersion suit shall permit the person wearing it, and also wearing a lifejacket if the immersion suit is to be worn in conjunction with a lifejacket, to:
    .1 climb up and down a vertical ladder at least 5 m in length;
