Sec. 199.220  Survival craft and rescue boat embarkation arrangements.

    (a) Survival craft embarkation arrangements must be designed for--
    (1) Each lifeboat to be boarded and launched either directly from 
the stowed position or from an embarkation deck, but not both; and
    (2) Davit-launched liferafts to be boarded and launched from a 
position immediately adjacent to the stowed positions or from a position 
where, as described under Sec. 199.130(c)(4), the liferaft is 
transferred before launching.
    (b) Each rescue boat must be able to be boarded and launched 
directly from the stowed position with the number of persons assigned to 
crew the rescue boat on board. Notwithstanding paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section, if the rescue boat is also a lifeboat and the other lifeboats 
are boarded and launched from an embarkation deck, the arrangements must 
be such that the rescue boat can also be boarded and launched from the 
embarkation deck.
