THE NEW IMO REGULATIONS in briefResolution MSC.320. Amendments to the LSA code: • The mechanism shall not be able to open due to wear, misalignment
and unintended force within the hook assembly or operating
mechanism.
• The hook assembly shall continue to be closed and hold its safe
working load through rotation of the cam by up to 45 degrees in
either direction.
• To provide hook stability, the release mechanism shall be designed
so that when it is fully reset in the closed position, the weight of the
lifeboat does not cause any force to be transmitted to the operating
mechanism.
• Locking devices shall be designed so that they cannot become open
due to forces from the hook load.
• All components of the hook unit… in a lifeboat shall be of material
that is corrosion resistant in the marine environment, without the
need for coatings or galvanizing.
Resolution MSC.321. Prototype testing: • The lifeboat release and retrieval system… loaded to 100% of its safe
working load and released. Load and release should be repeated 50
times.
• The hook assembly, whilst disconnected from the operating
mechanism, should then be tested 10 times with cyclic loading from
zero load to 1.1 times the safe working load, at a nominal 10 seconds
per cycle, and the hook should not open during this test.
• Release handle: The actuation force should be no less than 100 N
and no more than 300 N after these tests.
