🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifeboat/survival craft on-load vs. off-load release mechanisms in heavy weather • Risk of slinging or capsizing if released too early or too late • Manufacturer and SOLAS guidance on when the craft should be waterborne before release

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the survival craft if it is still taking the load of the falls when a big sea hits it. • Consider how you minimize shock loading on the hooks and falls while also avoiding being dragged or slammed into the rig. • Ask yourself: at what point is the survival craft best supported by the sea, instead of hanging, so that releasing the hooks causes the least danger to the people inside?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether the hooks should be released while the full weight is still on the falls or when the craft is supported by the water. • Check which option would reduce shock loads on the release gear in very heavy seas. • Eliminate any choice that clearly has you hanging free with waves hitting hard while the falls are still taking the main load.
