Register of Lifting Appliances and Items of Loose Gear

We have noticed a lot of shipowners consider lifting appliances as Unnecessary deal relying on the class technical file which shows nothing regarding lifting appliances…

And in many cases there is no instructions manual and no load specification card..
Looking forward more safety, shipowners and classification societies shall pay more attention for ILO Convention No. 152, 1979
Especially in offshore industry where we can see onboard all masters are doing proper risk assessment and clear rigging plan before any lifting operation.
