lifeboats

The Health and Safety Executive, a UK safety authority, has served BP with an improvement notice regarding its training for lifeboat evacuation on the Glen Lyon floating production vessel, west of Shetland.

International Maritime Organization regulations state that lifeboat release and retrieval systems must be evaluated and replaced no later than 1 July 2019.

JFD, an underwater capability provider serving the commercial and defense markets, is celebrating the delivery of the first two lifeboats that form part of its new safety-advanced range of self-propelled hyperbaric lifeboats.
