(b) Each muster station must have sufficient space to accommodate all persons assigned to muster at that station. One or more muster stations must be close to each embarkation station. (c) Each muster station and embarkation station must be readily accessible to accommodation and work areas. (d) Each muster station and embarkation station must be adequately illuminated by lighting supplied from the emergency source of electrical power. (e) Each davit-launched survival craft muster station and embarkation station must be arranged to enable stretcher cases to be placed in the survival craft. (f) Each launching station or each two adjacent launching stations with an embarkation position more than 3 meters (10 feet) above the waterline in the lightest seagoing condition, must have an embarkation ladder as follows: (1) Each embarkation ladder must be approved under approval series 160.117 or approval series 160.017. (2) Each embarkation ladder must extend in a single length, from the deck to the waterline in the lightest seagoing condition under unfavorable conditions of trim and with the OSV listed not less than 15 degrees either way. (3) Each embarkation ladder may be replaced by a device approved to provide safe and rapid access to survival craft in the water, if the OCMI permits the device, provided that there is at least one embarkation ladder on each side of the OSV. (g) Each davit-launched liferaft must be arranged to be boarded and launched from a position immediately adjacent to the stowed position or from a position to where, under § 133.130, the liferaft is transferred before launching. (h) If a davit-launched survival craft is embarked over the edge of the… | ||||

(b) Each survival craft must be launched down the straight side of the OSV. (c) Each launching station in the forward part of the OSV must— (1) Be located aft of the collision bulkhead in a sheltered position; and (2) Have a launching appliance approved as being of sufficient strength for forward installation. | |||

Each survival craft must be stowed as follows: (1) Each survival craft must be as close to the accommodation and service spaces as possible. (2) Each survival craft must be stowed in a way that neither the survival craft nor its stowage arrangements will interfere with the embarkation and operation of any other survival craft or rescue boat at any other launching station. (3) Each survival craft must be as near the water surface as is safe and practicable. (4) Other than liferafts intended for throw-overboard launching, each survival craft must be not less than 2 meters above the waterline with the OSV— (i) In the fully loaded condition; (ii) Under unfavorable conditions of trim; and (iii) Listed up to 20 degrees either way, or to the angle where the OSV's weatherdeck edge becomes submerged, whichever is less. (5) Each survival craft must be sufficiently ready for use so that two crew members can complete preparations for embarkation and launching in less than 5 minutes. (6) Each survival craft must be fully equipped as required under this part. (7) Each survival craft must be in a secure and sheltered position and protected from damage by fire and explosion, as far as practicable. (8) Each survival craft must not require lifting from its stowed position in order to launch, except that— (i) A davit-launched liferaft may be lifted by a manually powered winch from its stowed position to its embarkation position; or (ii) A survival craft that weights 185 kilograms (407.8 pounds) or less, may require lifting of not more than 300 millimeters (1 foot). (b) Additional liferaft stowage requirements. In addition to meeting the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, each liferaft must be stowed as follows: (1) Each liferaft must be stowed to permit manual release from its securing arrangements. (2) Each liferaft must be stowed at a height above the waterline in the lightest seagoing condition not greater than the maximum stowage height indicated on the liferaft container. Each lifer… | |||

(c) A rescue boat is not required for a vessel operating on the continental shelf of the United States, if— (1) The OCMI determines the vessel is arranged to allow a helpless person to be recovered from the water; (2) The recovery of the helpless person can be observed from the navigating bridge; and (3) The vessel does not regularly engage in operations that restrict its maneuverability. |
