[Guide to Inspection]

SOLAS / CH II-2 / Reg.9
SOLAS Reg. II-2/5.2.2.1 "means of control are to be provided for closure of openings in funnels which normally allow exhaust ventilation and closure of ventilation dampers".
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.

5.1 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.
