  10.3.4 Each unit should carry lifeboats complying with the requirements of the LSA Code, installed in at least two widely separated locations on different sides or ends of the unit. The arrangement of the lifeboats should provide sufficient capacity to accommodate the total number of persons on board if:

  • .1 all the lifeboats in any one location are lost or rendered unusable; or

  • .2 all the lifeboats on any one side, any one end, or any one corner of the unit are lost or rendered unusable.

  10.3.5 In addition, each unit should carry liferafts complying with the requirements of the LSA Code and approved to the actual operating height, of such aggregate capacity as will accommodate the total number of persons on board.

  10.3.6 In the case of a self-elevating unit where, due to its size or configuration, lifeboats cannot be located in widely separated locations to satisfy paragraph 10.3.4, the Administration may permit the aggregate capacity of the lifeboats to accommodate the total number of persons on board. However, the liferafts under paragraph 10.3.5 should be served by liferaft launching appliances or marine evacuation systems complying with the requirements of the LSA Code.
