In line with our comments to the Preliminary Report, this item has already been complied with. We have sent 2 telexes to the entire fleet covering these points. The first, cph74763 sent on 19th February, describes the incident, consequences and findings with regard to the full functionality of the equipment and resulting dangers of incorrect operational
procedures. The second, cph17546 sent on the 1 March is a procedure for 'MOB and Lifeboat Drills - Precautions on Launching and Recovery' which i.a. specifies the need to establish Work Place Instructions and Risk analysis.

Both these scripts have been incorporated in the next revision of our QE&SMS CD-ROM which is to be released to all vessels towards the end of the year.
