This Circular is intended to provide information to vessel owners/operators and Officers in Charge, Marine Inspection on an acceptable method of expediting the lifeboat weight test by the use of a test waterline marked inside the boat. This method applies only to boats tested by filling with water until the total boat weight equals the required test weight. The lifeboat weight test is required biennially on tank vessels, cargo vessels, and oceangraphic vessels; and annually on passenger vessels and public nautical school ships. |
