Rescue boats should be stowed:
-
.1 in a state of continuous readiness for launching
in not more than 5 min;
-
.2 if of an inflated type, in a fully inflated
condition at all times;
-
.3 in a position suitable for launching and recovery;
-
.4 so that neither the rescue boats nor their stowage
arrangements will interfere with the operation of any survival craft at any other
launching station.
