(1) Survival craft shall: (a) (i) be readily available in case of emergency;
(ii) be capable of being launched safely and rapidly even under unfavourable conditions of trim and against 15 degrees of list; and
(iii) be capable of rapid recovery if fulfilling also the requirements for a rescue boat; and

(ii) be capable of being launched safely and rapidly even under unfavourable conditions of trim and against 15 degrees of list; and
(iii) be capable of rapid recovery if fulfilling also the requirements for a rescue boat; and
(b) be so stowed that: (i) the marshalling of persons at the embarkation deck is not impeded;
(ii) their prompt handling is not impeded;
(iii) embarkation can be effected rapidly and in good order; and
(iv) the operation of any other survival craft is not interfered with.

(2) Survival craft and launching appliances shall be in working order and available for immediate use before the vessel leaves port and kept so at all times when at sea.
(3) (a) Survival craft shall be stowed in accordance with Section 7 of Appendix 2 to the satisfaction of the Administration.
(b) Every lifeboat shall be attached to a separate set of davits or approved launching appliance.
(c) Survival craft shall be positioned as close to accommodation and service spaces as possible, stowed in suitable positions to ensure safe launching, with particular regard to clearance from the propeller and steeply overhanging portions of the hull, so ensuring as far as practicable that they can be launched down the straight side of the vessel. If positioned forward they shall be stowed abaft the collision bulkhead in a sheltered position and in this respect the Administration shall give special consideration to the strength of the davits.
(d) The method of launching and recovering of rescue boats shall be approved taking into account the weight of the rescue boat including its equipment and 50 per cent of the number of persons it is certificated to carry, the construction and size of the rescue boat and its position of stowage above the waterline in the vessel's lightest operating condition. However, every rescue boat stowed at a height of more than 4.5 metres above the waterline in the vessel's lightest operating condition shall be provided with approved arrangements for launching and recovery.
(e) Davits shall be of an approved design complying with the requirements of Section 7 of Appendix 2.
(f) (i) The liferafts shall be so stowed as to be readily available in case of emergency in such a manner as to permit them to float free from their stowage, inflate and break free from the vessel in the event of its sinking. However, davit launched liferafts need not float free.
(ii) Lashings, if used, shall be fitted with an automatic (hydrostatic) release system of an approved type.
