LIFE-SAVING APPLIANCES
New Rules For Shipping
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 24.
New shipping and life-saving appliance rules, which arrange ships into classes and provide for life-saving appliances to be carried by ships of each class, have now been gazetted. The new rules stem from the inquiry into the Holmglen disaster, when it was reported that lives might have been saved if inflatable life rafts had been carried. The rules replace the Shipping Life-saving Appliances Rules (1954). They include provision for the acceptance of inflatable life rafts and Class C lifeboats, for some improved scales of certain life-saving appliances and for alterations and additions to equipment.
