Lifeboat Equipment and Safety Requirements

Lifeboat equipment and safety requirements ensure that lifeboats are ready to save lives in emergencies at sea. These requirements include having enough life jackets, flares, and first aid kits on board. Lifeboats must be regularly inspected, maintained, and equipped with functioning communication devices. Crew members need training in how to use the lifeboat and its equipment effectively. Additionally, lifeboats should be easily accessible and capable of holding the required number of passengers safely. Adhering to these standards enhances safety for everyone on board during maritime journeys.
