10.4 Survival craft launching stations

 Launching stations should be in such positions as to ensure safe launching having particular regard to clearance from any exposed propeller. As far as possible, launching stations should be located so that survival craft can be launched down a straight side of the unit, except for:

  • .1 survival craft specially designed for free-fall launching; and

  • .2 survival craft mounted on structures intended to provide clearance from lower structures.
