lifeboat regulations

Lifeboat regulations are safety standards that govern the number, type, and accessibility of lifeboats on ships. These rules ensure that there are enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew in case of an emergency, such as sinking or fire. They also outline the requirements for lifeboat design, maintenance, and crew training, ensuring that lifeboats are functional and can be deployed quickly. The regulations aim to enhance maritime safety and reduce the risk of loss of life in emergencies at sea. Compliance with these regulations is enforced by maritime authorities worldwide.
