此举是必要的，因为一些供应商没有设立足够的检修站网点来服务自身的产品，船东在选择这类服务时应予以考虑。
2.2主管机关不提供遍布世界各地的认可检修站的详细清单，因此主管机关需依靠当地的情况及认可组织广泛的网点。
认可组织在各地的网点应该了解当地检修站的适用性，主管机关会接受认可组织推荐的检修站。
2.3关于救生艇、降落装置及承载释放装置的检修和维护，可参考马绍尔群岛海事通告2-011-37(上述参考文件(l))。
2.4更多的关于认可机构代理主管机关行使此项职能的指南，可参见马绍尔群岛的技术通函1# (参考文件(h))。
3.0 设备检修3.1SOLAS公约要求气胀式救生筏、气胀式救生衣、海上撤离系统与充气式救助艇应在经认可的检修站进行检修。
3.2已实施检验与发证协调系统(HSSC)检查计划的船舶，对于船上气胀式救生筏、气胀式救生衣及海上撤离系统，在SOLAS公约88议定书规定的年度、定期及换证检验期间确认最近一次检修，并对检修进行检验和发证。
对于其他船舶，应在货船设备安全证书定期及换证检验之前或期间，对这些设备进行检修。
3.3认可组织的验船师在签发或签署货船设备安全证书时，应确认已圆满完成了检修。
救生筏的检修时并不强制要求验船师在场。
3.4主管机关认识到对于客船在其特定的航行条件下，对客船所要求的大量的救生筏进行年度检修存在困难，因此主管机关同意在一个证书年度周期内，可将救生筏分成若干较小数量的、便于管理的救生筏组进行检修。
每一只救生筏应按顺序进行检修，保证每只救生筏的检修间隔期不超过12个月。
3.5充气式救助艇的检修间隔期及检修程序必须按照生产厂家的要求进行。
进行检修的设施应满足上述2.1条款的要求。
3.6救生服应按照上述参考文件(g)的要求定期进行试验。
对于不超过10年的救生服，应每隔不超过3年进行试验；对于超过10年的救生服，或者救生服有接缝或对其密闭性能有怀疑的，应要求增加试验的频次。
如果船上有适用的设备，救生服的气密试验可在船上进行。
救生服的任何修理均应由认可的服务供应商按照生产厂家的说明书进行。
4.0 救生筏4.1按照SOLAS公约Reg.III/31.1.4要求配备的救生筏，应能由一人搬动及释放下水。
它们可存放在受保护位置，确保在任何时候立即可用。
当装运甲板货时应特别注意保持救生筏的可接近性。
为便于释放，应在适当的地方设有可拆式的栏杆或舷墙。
4.2按照上述参考文件(k)，设置在远处的救生艇筏，如根据SOLAS公约Reg.III/31.1.4要求配备的救生筏，应配备一个登乘梯或按照Reg.III/11.7规定能以受控方式下降至水面的其他登乘设施。
为此，打结的绳索不是一种可接受的登乘方式。
4.3有时候，或许有必要在原先批准的数量外临时增加船上人员的数量。
当实际可行时，应确认船上配备的救生艇能提供足够的乘员定额。
如果现有的救生艇被证实已经达到其最大乘员定额，主管当局可根据能证实的合理原因，允许安装符合要求的气胀式救生筏来代替救生艇乘员定额不足部分，作为一种临时等效措施。
这种临时措施应限制在船上额外人员所需的最短时间内实施，通常不应超过2个月。
这种临时措施需由主管当局特别批准。
5.0 救生服及保温用具5.1救生服应满足国际救生设备规则2.3款要求。
5.2应为船上每位人员配备一件救生服。
救生服和保温用具应由船长安排存放。

5.3对于远离救生服通常存放处所的值班室或工作站，应为每位人员配备附加救生服。
在本段落中的工作站是指船员履行日常职责的任何处所。
包括但不限于如下所列：控制室、机舱/工作车间、厨房、办公室和远离了望站。
如果不是邻近救生艇筏或通常存放个人所分配的救生服的处所，在紧急情况下无法获取救生服，这样的工作站应认为是远离的工作站。
最低程度应为驾驶室及机舱集控室的所有值班人员配备附加救生服。
5.4应根据SOLAS公约Reg.III/7.3为指派为救助艇艇员和海上撤离系统的每个工作人员配备1件适当尺寸的救生服。
按上述5.2要求配备的救生服可以认为已符合SOLAS Reg.III/7.3 条的要求。
5.5在根据SOLAS 公约Reg.III/31.1.4 要求而配备的附加救生筏的存放处，应至少配备两件救生服及两件救生衣，具体内容可参见上述参考文件(k)。
5.6对于除SOLAS IX/1定义的散货船以外的船舶，对于一直航行于温暖气候区域，可免除救生服和/或保温用具的配备要求。
主管机关规定南纬30゜和北纬30゜之间的海域为暖气候区域。
不过LSA规则4.1.5.1.24, 4.4.8.31及5.1.2.2.13款要求的保温用具，是作为救生艇筏、救助艇属具的一个整体部分，故无论船舶的航线如何都应予以配备。
关于免除的程序请参见马绍尔群岛技术通函4# Rev.1(上述参考文件(i))。
6.0 全封闭救生艇内穿着救生服导则主管机关完全赞同上述参考文件(j)的要求，强烈建议船东、船舶营运人和船长强调在其船上实施上述参考文件(j)第4段的要求。
弃船演习是检验和展示救生服的使用的好机会。
该演习的重点是，一旦船员没有登上全封闭式救生艇，能使用救生服提供热保护。
1 of 5Inquiries concerning the subject of this Notice should be directed to the Office of the Maritime Administrator, Republic of the MarshallREPUBLIC OFMarine Notice THE MARSHALL ISLANDSNo. 2-011-5 OFFICE OF THEMARITIME ADMINISTRATOR Rev. 11/11TO: ALL SHIPOWNERS, OPERATORS, MASTERS AND OFFICERS OFMERCHANT SHIPS, AND RECOGNIZED ORGANIZATIONSSUBJECT: Life-Saving Appliances and Equipment.References: (a) International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS),as amended(b) International Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) Code, as amended(c) Revised Recommendation on Testing of Life-Saving Appliances,Resolution MSC.81(70), as amended(d) European Union Council Directive 96/98/EC on Marine EquipmentDirective (MED)(e) Recommendations on Conditions for the Approval of ServicingStations for Inflatable Life Rafts, Resolution A.761(18)(f) Adoption of Amendments to the Recommendation on Conditions forthe Approval of Servicing Stations for Inflatable Life Rafts(Resolution A.761(18)), Resolution MSC.55(66)(g) Guidelines for Periodic Testing of Immersion Suit and Anti-exposureSuit Seams and Closures (MSC/Circ.1114)(h) Marshall Islands Technical Circular #1(i) Marshall Islands Technical Circular #4 Rev. 1(j) Guidance on wearing immersion suits in totally enclosed lifeboats(MSC.1/Circ.1278)(k) IACS Unified Interpretation SC 213(l) Marshall Islands Marine Notice 2-011-37, Lifeboat EquipmentRequirements, Maintenance and ServicingPURPOSE:This Notice addresses a number of recent issues and requests involving Life-Saving Appliances aboard Marshall Islands Flag vessels that have been presented to the Republic of the Marshall Islands Maritime Administrator (the “Administrator”) for interpretation and clarification of its policy. This Notice supersedes Rev. 4/11 and reflects additional clarifying verbiage regarding remotely located immersion suits. Furthermore, due to the extent of issues relating to lifeboats and on-load release hooks, these matters have been removed and are addressed separately under Marshall Islands Marine Notice 2-011-37 (reference (l) above).APPLICABILITY:This Notice applies to all ships, mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) and mobile offshore units (MOUs) subject to reference (a) above.REQUIREMENTS:1.0 Approval of Equipment1.1 The Administrator will accept equipment approvals granted by another State that is aParty to the SOLAS Convention, or a Recognized Organization (RO) on behalf of the Administrator or other Party to the SOLAS Convention; provided, the approvals are fully in accordance with Convention requirements. All newly installed lifesaving equipment must comply with references (a) through (c) above.1.2 Existing equipment, which was manufactured and tested in accordance with previousSOLAS Convention requirements, may continue to be used as long as it remains in serviceable condition.1.3 The Administrator will also accept equipment that has been approved under the EuropeanUnion Marine Equipment Directive (MED) procedures – reference (d) above.1.4 More specific guidance to ROs carrying out this function on behalf of the Administratoris provided in Marshall Islands Technical Circular #1 – reference (h) above.2.0Approval of Service Providers2.1 The Administrator recognizes servicing facilities that are approved by a State which isParty to the SOLAS Convention or by an RO on behalf of the Administrator or other Party to the SOLAS Convention; provided the approvals are in compliance with reference(e) above, as amended by reference (f) above. This has become necessary becausecertain suppliers have not developed networks of service stations to support their products, something that owners should be taking into consideration in the selection of such closely regulated items such as these.2.2 The Administrator does not, however, maintain an exhaustive list of every world-wideservice station so recognized. As a result, the Administrator relies upon the local knowledge and the extensive network of RO offices. The RO station offices should know the suitability of such service stations in their area. The service station recommended by the RO will be acceptable to the Administrator.2.3 With regard to the servicing and maintenance of lifeboats, launching appliances and on-load release gear, refer to Marshall Islands Marine Notice 2-011-37 (reference (l) above.2.4 More specific guidance to ROs carrying out this function on behalf of the Administratoris provided in Marshall Islands Technical Circular #1 (reference (h) above).Rev. 11/11 2 of 5 2-011-53.0 Equipment Servicing3.1 The SOLAS Convention requires that inflatable life rafts, inflatable life jackets, marineevacuation systems, and inflated rescue boats be serviced at approved servicing facilities.3.2 On vessels that have implemented the Harmonized System of Survey and Certification(HSSC) inspection scheme, the inflatable life rafts, any inflatable life jackets, and any installed evacuation systems must be examined and certification of last servicing verified during the annual, periodical, and renewal surveys stipulated in the 1988 SOLAS Protocol. On other vessels, this equipment is to be serviced just prior to, or during, the Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate periodical and renewal surveys.3.3 The RO surveyors must be satisfied that the servicing has been completed satisfactorilyprior to endorsing or issuing the Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate or HSSC Cargo Ship Safety Certificate. Attendance of the surveyor during the servicing of the life raft is not mandatory.3.4 The Administrator recognizes that annual servicing of the large numbers of life raftsrequired for passenger ships under their unique voyage conditions may impose difficulties. The Administrator therefore endorses the servicing of life rafts in smaller more manageable groups throughout the certification year. Each life raft, however, must be serviced in a sequence that ensures that no life raft will exceed a 12-month servicing interval.3.5 The servicing interval and procedures for inflated rescue boats must be in accordancewith the manufacturer’s requirements. The facility performing the servicing must comply with the requirements of paragraph 2.1 above.3.6 The periodic testing of immersion suits shall be conducted according to reference (g)above. Suits less than 10 years old shall be tested at intervals not exceeding three (3) years; suits older than 10 years, or suits which have seams or closures that are in questionable condition may be required to be tested more frequently. Immersion suit air tests may be conducted on board ship if suitable equipment is available. Any necessary repairs should be conducted by an approved service provider in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.4.0 Life Rafts4.1 Life rafts provided in compliance with SOLAS Regulation III/31.1.4 are to betransportable and launchable by one (1) person. They may be stowed in protected positions provided they are readily available at all times. Particular care should be given to their accessibility when deck cargoes are carried. Where appropriate, removable guard rails or bulwarks should be provided to facilitate launching.4.2 As described in reference (k) above, remotely located survival craft such as the life raftsprovided in compliance with SOLAS Regulation III/31.1.4 shall be provided with an embarkation ladder or other means of embarkation enabling decent to the water in a controlled manner as per SOLAS Regulation III/11.7. For this purpose, knotted ropes are not considered an acceptable means of embarkation.Rev. 11/11 3 of 5 2-011-54.3 On occasion, it may be necessary to temporarily carry persons on board in excess of thenumber currently authorized. When physically possible, the installed lifeboats should be recertified to provide the necessary capacity. If the existing lifeboats are already certified to their maximum capacity, the Administrator may allow, for legitimate verifiable reasons, the substitution of inflatable life raft capacity appropriately installed in accordance with regulatory requirements to augment the required lifeboat complement asa temporary measure of equivalency. These temporary measures will be limited to theminimum period of time required for the additional persons to be on board and in general, will not exceed two (2) months. This accommodation will only be allowed with the specific approval of the Administrator.5.0 Immersion Suits and Thermal Protective Aids5.1 Immersion suits shall comply with section 2.3 of reference (b) above.5.2 An immersion suit shall be provided for every person on board the ship. Immersion suitsand thermal protective aids are to be assigned by the Master. It is recommended that they should be kept in staterooms along with life jackets.5.3 Additional immersion suits shall be provided for each person on watch or at any normalwork location that is remote from where immersion suits are normally stowed. For the purposes of this paragraph, a normal work location is a location where a crewmember regularly carries out normal work functions. Examples may include but are not limited to: control rooms, machine/work shops, galleys, offices, and remote lookout positions.Such a work location would be considered remote if it is not in the direct vicinity of the primary survival craft and/or normal stowage position of the individually assigned immersion suits, and could not reasonably be retrieved in the event of an emergency. Ata minimum, additional suits shall be provided to the navigation bridge and the enginecontrol room for all watch standers at those locations.5.4 An immersion suit of appropriate size shall be provided for every person assigned to crewthe rescue boat or assigned to the marine evacuation system party in accordance with Regulation 7.3 of Chapter III of reference (a) above. The immersion suits provided under paragraph 9.2 above may be used to comply with this requirement.5.5 A minimum of two (2) immersion suits and two (2) lifejackets must be provided atlocations where remotely located survival craft are stowed in accordance with SOLAS Regulation III/31.1.4 and as detailed in reference (k) above.5.6 Reference (a) contains provisions for exempting vessels, other than bulk carriers, asdefined in Regulation IX/1 of reference (a) above, that are constantly engaged on voyages in warm climates from the requirement to carry immersion suits and/or thermal protective aids. The Administrator considers voyages in warm climates to be those within the zone between 30º North and 30º South latitudes. The thermal protective aids required by LSA Code Sections 4.1.5.1.24, 4.4.8.31 and 5.1.2.2.13, however, are an integral part of survival craft and rescue boat equipment which must be provided regardless of vessel route. Procedures for granting the exemption are found in Marshall Islands Technical Circular #4 Rev. 1 (reference (i) above)Rev. 11/11 4 of 5 2-011-56.0 Guidance on wearing immersion suits in totally enclosed lifeboatsThe Administrator fully concurs with reference (j) above, and strongly recommends that owners, operators and Masters emphasize those items in paragraph 4 of reference (j) above be followed on their vessels. Abandon ship drills are a good opportunity to examine and demonstrate the use of immersion suits. Crew training during these drills should emphasize that immersion suits are intended primarily to ensure thermal protection in cases where the totally enclosed lifeboats cannot be embarked upon.Rev. 11/11 5 of 5 2-011-5。
