On board maintenance and drills

agenda /

December 2017


Dromon Survey Department is releasing the updated technical publication concerning the requirements for

maintenance and inspection of firefighting, lifesaving and radio equipment as well as drills as per statutory

instruments.

The publication includes requirements for:

On-board Maintenance & Inspection of Fire Protection Systems and Life-Saving Appliances

Servicing, Inspection & Testing of Accommodation Ladders, gangways, davits and winches

Servicing, Inspection & Testing of Launching Appliances (davit and winch)

Servicing, Inspection & Testing of Lifeboat on-load release gear

Servicing, Inspection & Testing of Davit-launched liferaft automatic release hooks

Servicing, Inspection & Testing of Radio and Navigation Equipment

On-board Training and Drills

The information should be used for the ship’s on board maintenance plan as required by SOLAS regulation II-

2/14.

In accordance with ISM Code Section 10.1 the safety management system of the company has to provide a

maintenance plan which ensures maintenance and inspection of the ship and equipment according to the

relevant rules and regulations, codes, guidelines and standards.

The ship ISM Managers should ensure that the existing maintenance programme on board ships follows the

revised guidelines and necessary amendments or revisions should be carried out.
