MrHunters,

You are by all means correct! But in reality it all comes down to money and what he thinks is 'affordable' at the time.

I work on a 30 year old ship, with 30 year old open lifeboats that were 'outlawed' about 29 years ago and now grandfathered. IMO when it comes to SOLAS nothing should be grandfathered. BUT it really all comes down to spending $$$ on new lifeboats, and the owners of the ships whether private or government owned don't want to spend the $$$. How do you think I feel having to put up with that BS.....
