How to Launch a Davit Lifeboat Procedure: Understanding Lifeboat.

Lifeboats are crucial emergency vessels aboard ships, designed specifically to evacuate passengers and crew in case of a maritime crisis. These specialized boats are equipped with essential supplies, navigation tools, and safety gear to ensure survival until rescue arrives. They come in various types and sizes, from rigid inflatable boats to larger enclosed models capable of accommodating numerous people.
Their importance cannot be overstated, serving as a last line of defense in the event of accidents such as fires, flooding, or shipwrecks. Lifeboats act as a critical safety measure, providing a means of escape and ensuring individuals can leave a distressed vessel swiftly and safely. Regular drills and familiarisation with lifeboat procedures are essential to guaranteeing a swift and organised evacuation in times of crisis, emphasising their vital role in maritime safety protocols.
In this video, I've detailed the steps involved in launching a lifeboat.

Exclusive content
A must watch before going onboard

[@Desertpagan]

60 people, that's huge. Rations for how many days? A "Head" (toilet)?
You mentioned a compass, so I assume there's propulsion.
There appeared to be a holster, for a firearm?

[@Thesailorslounge]

The rations are supposed to last for at least 7 days. There are usually two lifeboats onboard, in addition to the six life rafts that also carry essential survival supplies. In an emergency, all will be launched, that’s if there’s time, so we can use the supplies. The life raft however, is for 30 persons.

Very insightful content, thanks bro. My question is, if there happens to be an emergency when the lifeboat is out for maintenance. What happens then?

[@Thesailorslounge]

While we’re at sea, the lifeboat cannot be taking for maintenance. Heavy Maintenance is done every two-three years, while PM’s are done onboard from time to time. The heavy maintenance is done when the ship is in for drydock.
