SOLAS: Retroactive Measures for Lifeboats

New Retroactive LSA Code Amendments

Compliant or compliant after modification: remain in service Non-compliant: to be replaced or modified to be made compliant

For compliant systems carry out overhaul exam by first drydocking 1 July 2014, if completed satisfactory, manufacturer issues factual statement to confirm

13
