Statutory Documents - IMO Publications and Documents - Circulars - Maritime Safety Committee - MSC.1/Circular.1205 – Guidelines for Developing Operation and Maintenance Manuals for Lifeboat Systems – (26 May 2006) - Annex - Guidelines for Developing Operation and Maintenance Manuals for Lifeboat Systems - 2 Collaboration of manufacturers of the lifeboat and the launching appliance
2 Collaboration of manufacturers of the lifeboat and the launching appliance
A manual for a lifeboat system including launching appliance should be developed with the collaboration of manufacturers of the lifeboat and the launching appliance and preferably be a single document. As a minimum, the use of different words for the same gear/parts of the lifeboat system should be eliminated by the collaboration of manufacturers of the lifeboat and the launching appliance to prevent misunderstanding by seafarers. Hereafter, these guidelines assume a manual for a lifeboat system includes the launching appliance as a minimum, but separate lifeboat, release gear, and launching appliance manuals may be effective if adequately co-ordinated and using the same style of presentation per these guidelines.
