    LAUNCHING THROWOVER LIFERAFTS

    In preparation for the launching of liferafts, care must be taken that the liferaft clears outboard

    hazards such as overboard discharges, rubbing bands, stabilisers etc. (see Section 5/2).

    Ensure the painter is secured to a strong point (this may be the Hydrostatic Release Unit)

    and pull about 2 metres of painter out of the container

    2 Remove rail if necessary

    3 Release the lashings by letting go the Senhouse Slip

    4 Ensure all clear overside

    5 Throw the liferaft clear of the vessel's side

    6 Pull out the remainder of the painter and give a sharp tug to operate the inflation

    mechanism

    7 When the liferaft inflates (about 10-30 seconds) bring it as close to the ship's side as

    possible

    8 Board the liferaft by ladder or rope, or from the water. Do not enter the water unless it is

    unavoidable

    9 When survivors are aboard the liferaft, cut the painter and paddle clear of the vessel

    If there is not an opportunity to manually launch the liferaft, the submerged HRU will ensure the

    liferaft is released.
