I was watching a Casual Navigation video about a containership sinking and while he has done videos covering whether sea containers float I’m curious if people who respond to these emergencies try to deal with these sea containers on their own like in the event they have trouble getting to a lifeboat and in the case of enclosed lifeboats what do they do with those? Do they get recovered and dragged off? Do they sink them somehow?
Here’s a photo of the kind of lifeboats I am talking about by the way
Oh that makes sense. Do you have any idea what the timeframe typically is for that kind of stuff?
I don’t know the specifics, but my understanding is the lifeboat needs to be refurbished and inspected before going back into service typically. Most of my knowledge here is second hand, a chunk of my family are sailors.
