One-time follow-up overhaul examination

  16 Not later than the first scheduled dry-docking after 1 July 2014, every lifeboat release and retrieval system of a type found to be compliant in respect of the existing lifeboat release and retrieval system evaluation should be subject to an overhaul examination according to annex 1 to the Measures to prevent accidents with lifeboats (MSC.1/Circ.1206/Rev.1) by the manufacturer or by one of their representatives. The examination also includes verification that the system examined is of the same type as the system that passed the evaluation and is suitable for the ship.

  17 The scope of the overhaul examination should also include a detailed assessment of the condition of the components of the lifeboat release and retrieval system to observe the extent of wear, corrosion, erosion and other types of material degradation that may have occurred. Upon satisfactory completion of the overhaul examination, the manufacturer or one of their representatives should issue a factual statement to confirm this, for retention on board.
