Subject: RE: acceptance for manual slewen for rescue boat davits
Dear Sir,
Thank you for showing interest.
In principal EMA is ready to discuss the matter but the general exemption
can not be issued at this stage.
The policy has been that all the exemptions are ship based and also
analysed as such. Therefore, the
process have to be initiated by the shipowner, application sent to the
Administration with the RO
comments attached.
Kind regards,
Marek Rauk

Dear Sir/Madam,
We, Palfinger Ned Deck, are a European manufacturer of davit systems and
we have costumers with a
ships registered under your flag state authority.
As per latest SOLAS regulations a launching appliance for rescue boats
shall not depend on any means
other than gravity or stored mechanical power which is independent of the
ship's power supply.
Result is exclusion of manual slewing types.
However various national maritime authorities are making an exception to
the official SOLAS regulation by
accepting manual slewing rescue boat davits for rescue boats having a
mass when fully equipped
including engine and fuel of not more than 500 kg, or alternatively max.
1000 kg including 6 persons.
The national authorities which are approving it are:
* United States of America (USCG)
(16714/160.132)
* Dutch Shipping Inspectorate of the Netherlands (SLS.14/Circ.153)
* SeeBG / GL of Germany
(SLS.14/Circ.159)
* Russian Federation
(SLS.14/Circ.166)
* Malta
(SLS.14/Circ.186)
* And various others.
Our question:
Our question to you is:
Will your flag authority do permit this as well?
keeping in mind the human body as stored power.
We look forward to receiving your reply at your earliest convenience.
Best regards,
