7.4 Secure the painters
The end of the painter on every liferaft should be secured to a suitable
strong point, so that on being launched the liferaft is held to the vessel.
The securing arrangement for the painter will normally include a float free
arrangement, such as a hydrostatic release unit, (HRU). Where a HRU is
fitted the painter line should be attached only to the HRU weak link.
WARNING: IT SHOULD BE IMPRESSED UPON ALL MEMBERS OF THE
CREW THAT, IF FOR ANY REASON A LIFERAFT PAINTER HAS
TO BE UNFASTENED BEFORE A LIFERAFT IS LAUNCHED,
THEN IT SHOULD BE MADE FAST AGAIN TO SOME OTHER
SUITABLE STRONG POINT BEFORE LAUNCHING TAKES
PLACE.
7.5 Height of stowage above the waterline
7.5.1 The liferafts should be stowed as close to the waterline as is safe
and practical.
(a) For ISO 9650-1 height should be within 6 meters.
(b) For ISO 9650-2 height should be within 4 meters.
7.6 Installation and removal of liferafts
Be very careful when installing or removing the liferafts at their stowage
positions. The container or the valise can be damaged and subsequently, the
liferaft. They must not be rolled or dropped during removal/installation.
7.7 Stowage of liferafts in rigid containers
NOTE: Liferafts are usually packed in rigid containers with no
other protection.
7.7.1 Install the container the correct way up with the drainage apertures at
the bottom. Keep the drainage apertures clear of obstructions such
as the launching cradle support structure.
NOTE: Each cradle must be of the correct dimensions for the
type of container installed. The rack must be attached
to the ship’s structure.
