Offshore
NOGEPA 2.7B C – Coxswain Conventional Lifeboat and Capsules
Each offshore mining installation which is manned, either permanently or temporarily, is provided with one or more survival craft, which allow crew on board to abandon the installation in case of emergency.
The survival craft can be either of the conventional type, i.e. a lifeboat or capsule lowered by falls, or a lifeboat of the free-fall type. Training shall be provided to those who are designated as coxswain(s) handling the survival craft.
In some cases the survival craft is used as a rescue craft (Man Overboard Boat). In that case it is useful to combine this course with the Coxswain Man Overboard Boat.
