Vejledning om anerkendelse af ækvivalensarrangement til SOLAS 74 reglement 35, kapitel III (* 1)

Industriministeriet har underrettet IMO som følger

»Regulation 35 of Chapter III of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, provides that every cargo ship, with certain exceptions, shall carry lifeboats on each side of the ship of such aggregate capacity as will accommodate all persons on board and in addition shall carry liferafts sufficient to accomodate half that number.

The Goverment of Denmark gives notification of acceptance of the following Equivalent Arrangement under the provisions of Regulations 5, Chapter I

»Cargo vessels of 500 gross tons and over not less than 1600 gross tons, except tankers, ships carrying liquefied gases in bulk and ships carrying chemicals in bulk, may be equipped as follows

(a) One or more liferafts on each side of the ship of sufficient aggregate capacity to accommodate all persons on board. In ships where the distance from the embarking deck to the water in the lightest sea-going condition exceeds 4.5 metres the rafts required above are to be of the davit launched type and at least one approved launching appliance is to be provided om each side of the ship. The launching appliance should be capable of lowering the raft when fully loaded with its full complement of persons and equipment when the ship has a trim up to 10 degrees and a list of up to 15 either way.

(b) A motor powered inflated boat of an approved type, which is capable of being launched on one side of the ship and is kept in a fully inflated condition.

(c) An efficient mechanical device, as approved by the Administration and which is kept readily available and operable for launching and recovering the inflatable boat.«

In accepting this Equivalent Arrangement the Government of Denmark has taken account of experience gained from ships not subject to the Safety of Life at Sea Convention, 1974, which have been operating with similar scales of equipment.

The Government of Denmark also gives notification that its Equivalent Arrangement notified in SLS.2/Circ. 146 is hereby cancelled.

Søfartsstyrelsen skal henlede opmærksomheden på, ækvivalensordningen udelukkende indebærer erstatning af redningsbåde med flåder på de nærmere angivne vilkår og ikke udelades af de i forbindelse med redningsbåde knyttede foranstaltninger, såsom nødblus til belysning af søen m.m.
