INTRODUCTION

This Training Manual is suitable for use on board vessels of various types engaged on
international voyages and on vessels that operate within their own domestic confines but which
carry lifeboats.

The document fully complies with Regulation 35 of the 1996 amendments to the International
Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1974, which requires that SOLAS vessels carry such a
Manual, and with the requirements relating to European domestic vessels and various UK
Codes of Practice.

The purpose of the Manual is to provide all members of the crew with information about
lifesaving appliances and survival techniques, and the meaning of the ship's alarms. Whilst
every effort has been made to provide up to-date information the reader must be aware that
regulations and performance standards are frequently upgraded, and that continuous research
into survival medicine and equipment advances mean that the data provided should be cross
checked with other current sources.

The Manual should be read in conjunction with the ship owner's and captain's Standing
Orders. and interpreted as applicable for individual vessels. This may be particularly
important when considering the evacuation procedure and survival craft arrangements in high
sided vessels, passenger vessels, ships with special design features and vessels with limited
crews.

Where reference is made to statutory and SOLAS requirements only the broad, general
requirement has been stated. The detail relating to an individual vessel may vary depending on
the flag authority and the age and type of vessel

This Manual may be used as a framework and reference source for those personnel whose
duty it is to give instruction to others of the vessel's company in the purpose and use of
lifesaving equipment; the procedures for abandonment; and the best methods of survival.
Additionally, it is intended as a reference source for all personnel and a copy a should be

provided in each crew mess room and recreation room in order that there is ready access to the
contents.

Details concerning the specific lifesaving equipment and systems aboard this vessel are to be
entered in the last section, whilst a record to be completed when amendments are made to this
Manual is to be found after the title page.

Finally, owners, operators and users are reminded that by regulation they are required to ensure that all
life-saving appliances are in full working order before their vessel leaves port and at all times during
the voyage.
