Viking Refits Four NGSCO Vessels with LRRS System
New IMO regulations call for major and mandatory improvements to safeguard lives both during lifeboat drills and during emergencies at sea. For more than a decade, LRRS including on-load release hooks have been the cause of numerous accidents, some involving fatalities. Those accidents have tarnished the reputation of lifeboats as a safety device.
As NGSCO have a strong commitment to excellence and strive for superior safety, they made it a priority to get the lifeboat hooks retrofitted as soon as possible with the latest technology, even though the regulations would allow them to wait until the next dry dock period in five years.
