Vessels under 500GT

13.2.3.2.1 Vessels under 500GT should be provided with a rescue boat either meeting the requirements of 13.2.3.1 or the following:

13.2.3.2.2 A boat which is not SOLAS approved but which is suitable for rescue purposes. The boat may be rigid, rigid inflated, or inflated, and should have a capacity for not less than 4 persons, one of which should be assumed to be lying down. Tubes of rigid inflatable or inflatable boats should have a minimum of 3 buoyancy compartments. The boat is to be capable of displaying a highly visible colour. If the equipment as required is stowed in a grab bag, it may be stowed in the boat or in an easily accessible location close to the rescue boat.

13.2.3.2.3 Launching appliances should be either of an approved type or comply with the following requirements:

13.2.3.2.4 The appliance should be able to launch the boat within 5 minutes. When a power operated device is fitted, it should be capable of operation either by hand or by an emergency source of power in the event of a main power failure. The routing of the emergency source of power should be considered in respect of damaged waterlines and fire.

13.2.3.2.5 The launching appliance and its attachments should be constructed to withstand a static proof load on test of not less than 2.2 times the maximum working load. Acceptable factors of safety are 6 for wires, hooks and sheaves, and 4.5 for the remainder of the launching appliance. The appliance and its attachments should also be tested dynamically to 1.1 times the working load. It should be noted that there is no requirement to recover the rescue boat provided that the casualty and the boat’s crew can be recovered on board from the boat in the water.

The design of the falls and winch system should take account of the principles of IMO Lifesaving Appliances Code Ch VI/6.1.2

13.2.3.2.6 Where it is proposed to use the running rigging on sailing vessels, the above requirements should also be met.
