635 - 5/09 - CIC Campaign - Lifesaving Appliances - Europe/Asia

The Association would like to draw the attention of its members towards the Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) which will be carried out for a three month period between the 1^st of September and the 30^th of November by both the Paris and Tokyo Memorandums of Understanding.

Following a number of past collaborations, the Paris and Tokyo Memoranda will again launch a joint CIC, this time targeting the enforcement of SOLAS Chapter III - Lifesaving appliances and arrangements. The campaign will last for three months and will primarily target lifeboat launching arrangements, maintenance records, familiarisation and associated documentation.
