Liaise with the lifeboat davit manufacturer to establish the reason for limiting the winch capacity to the lifeboat plus 2 persons, and bring the installations on all company vessels fitted with them up to SOLAS compliance standards.

We have on the 31 August, after careful study of all material from the davit manufacturer and shipyard, sent a communication to the manufacturers explaining the apparent lack of compliance with SOLAS requirements and requesting that all future installations be in compliance.

As yet, no reply has been received. On receipt, this will be forwarded to your good selves.

The relevant persons within our organisation have been made aware of the possibility of inconsistencies between davit manufacturers and SOLAS requirements.
