The purpose of this inspection was to determine compliance of the lifeboat with the current regulations of the International Maritime Organization for design of accommodation spaces in free- fall lifeboats. Included in the inspection was a review of appropriate documentation for the lifeboat. Acceleration forces were also measured during a launch of the empty fully equipped lifeboat from a height of 22.5 meters. The results of the inspection and acceleration force measurements are summarized in this report.On 9-11 July 2004 an inspection was conducted of the Shat-Harding FF-900 Free-Fall Lifeboat aboard the M/S Don Juan operated by Wallenius Marine.
