- Have you ever wondered what you will do in case you are requested to abandon your vessel?What will be the means of survival at sea? Remember that your ship is the safest place to be on board and the lifeboat will only be used if the Ships Captain Calls out ''Abandon Ship''.
Lifeboats are of different types, the one I will be demonstrating you today is a davit launch type which is very common to find in the Shipping Industry.
The launching procedures are demonstrated in order for you to familiarize on how to lower and retrieve the lifeboat.
For the end I have left the Lifesaving equipment which is the same in every lifeboat world wide and you just need to know what means you will have available on board to familiarize yourself.
All seafarers when joining a vessel have to familiarize with the lifeboats operation so that they have the knowledge to operate it.
I advise you to read the SOLAS manual which is available on board in the recreation rooms or in a soft copy on the vessels computers and read the makers manual.
Remember to be ready at all times.
How to operate a Davit launch type lifeboat was a request from a fellow seafarer who was interested on how to launch it and what equipment is on board this lifeboat.
Fair seas to everyone.

Glad to see LNG Capt makes videos, it's too hard to find the real LNG onboard videos. Let's keep it on and share more.
Thank you.
Tht was pretty good 1
Quick revision for someone like me who is preparing for OOW orals.
Very well explained thanks
You're very welcome!
That was a very helpful video in order to understand how a lifeboat works!!
Glad it was helpful!
Another great and informative video Captain.been familiarized even on my vacation.thanks and keep it up..
Hello Arnel, thats the point to be ready prior joining the ship.Everyone forgets and we change vessels which have different type of lifesaving and firefighting equipment.
That's impressive!
Thank you
Thank you so this excellent video
You are welcome safe seas.
It was very informative video capt.
Thanks allot.
perfect video!!!!! keep up the good job
Thank you Giannis
merci
Great job!!
Good morning Konstantine, thank you.
Thank you!
FOR A MARINE ENGINEER VERY VERY INTERESTING VIDEO THANKS
u COULD HAVE ALSO SHOWED THE MANUAL STARTING OF LIFEBOAT ENGINE AS WELL
Yes i could but this was not possible when i did this video.
There is a possibility if you press the limit switches while you already heaving up lifeboat which will trip your pump ...so it's better to first keep pressed the limit switch one by one and then try to heave up with the button in order to confirm that limits are working properly.. great video btw
Great comment Nahui yes indeed this is one best practice to perform it without possibly tripping the pump.
It has happened to me and then Electrician or Electronic rush on the spot to start it back up again.
All over the years it has only happened to me twice but at again as you said its preferable to be done as you describe on your comment.
Sir plz make video for free fall life boat lowering procedure and about simulation launching for free fall life baot
Hello there and thank you for your message although I have experience on free fall lifeboats nowdays i am working on davit launch type boats.
Question. How motor can heave up the lifeboat when the brake is engage?
Captain, since we have the pin at 0:40, why do we also need falling preventing devices (FPD)?
It falls upon the makers manual and Masters discretion.In some instances in the past the FPD was used only when the boat was moved from its position.Now days we only place the pins.
@@nickthesailorman360 Oh ok! Thanks Capt!
There are 2 types of FPD, "Locking pins" and "Strops or slings" Since FPD was first officially mentioned on IMO circular in 2009, some old ships manufactured before 2009 may not have pin hole for the "locking pin" , those ships usually use "Strops or slings" to fulfill the IMO FPD requirements, as the use of strops is technically easy and economic.
Further information can be found in MSC.1/Circ.1327, MSC.1/Circ.1392 and MSC.1/Circ.1466.
@@charliemak9803 Yeah, I had also found that when I searched it. However I've seen sling FPD onboard a 2016 vessel which of course had the safety pin for the hooks. That's why I asked. Maybe they exist there in case the crew wants to to get the life boat to sea and need to avoid the premature release between the time they put the pin out and the moment they release it manually.
What could be the autonomy of a rescue boat in terms of food, distances etc.? Thank you for your reply !
Hello Samuel It depends on how many people are finally on board and how much they can cope with this situation.In regards to distance well give me those oars and I will paddle the oceans of the 🌎🌍
@@nickthesailorman360 Let say if they are 10 on board ? They're pretty experienced. And I add new questions, is there any GPS on board to get a direction ?
Music so lame and annoying
You can close your ears mate and put subtitles on :)
