Storm Rescue: Why MONSTER Waves Can't Sink the Safest LIFEBOATS During Worst Storms

[@raymondnybakk1311]

A lot of mixups. A lot of confusion and mixing of terms. Rescue boats, lifeboats and pilot boats are not the same.

[@gorillaguerillaDK]

In regards to Pilot Boats, some are equipped and used for SAR missions as well! The term Lifeboat covers both vessels used for SAR (such as the job performed by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and similar Rescue Services around the world), and the group of vessels onboard ships, offshore installations, and on a lot of aircraft. Sure, I get that it can seem confusing, but you have to remember that this terminology goes back to an era where there really wasn't any significant difference between the boats used as lifeboats on ships or from the coast for rescuing people from ships wrecked on the coast. The Stations from where these coastal SAR vessels launch are also still called Lifeboat Stations - and I honestly think that's common practice in most countries, as there's a lot of tradition connected to this naming convention. Of course you're right that it's not all Pilot Boats that can double as a SAR vessel, but it's a trend that is becoming more and more common, and as Pilot Boats are getting increasingly more expensive and of course seaworthy, anyways it makes a lot of sense that they can be used for both - especially in areas where rough seas are fairly common!

[@raymondnybakk1311]

@@gorillaguerillaDK Yes I know that in the UK SAR boats are called lifeboats to. But I have never heard of planes with lifeboats. Some of them might have inflatable life rafts, but that is not a boat. Where have you seen pilot boats with SAR duties? And SAR boats/ships has never looked like a lifeboat on a ship.

[@enibeni2071]

As far as I know: Rescue boats are used for saving people who are on the sea and bringing them to the boat. That's why many of them aren't enclosed. Life boats are used for abandoning the ship when the ship is sinking. Some of them are enclosed, some aren't enclosed...it depends on where the ship travel. Also, some lifeboats that aren't enclosed...are used as a way of brining cruise pasengers to the ship and vice versa.

[@Jay_Force_One]

I don’t think they mixed up anything. The title is “Rescue Boats”. They just showed all types of Rescue watercraft. I guess it’s a matter of how you define everything. By real definition, a LIFEboat is a rescue boat. It rescues people…..in boat form.

[@corriegillett2536]

Listening to British people complain about people arriving on boats is hilarious and ironic. It sucks when people turn up and start doing their own thing doesn’t it. Aboriginal Australian here, we had our own problem with boat people.

[@gorillaguerillaDK]

@@corriegillett2536 At least most of the asylum seekers who arrive in the UK just want a chance to build a life for themselves and their families far away from natural disasters and war - they're not hellbent on subjugating the local population - and they don't bring along large numbers of prisoners, (or as the same "boat-people" who went to Australia did elsewhere, bring large numbers of slaves). So them complaining is the worst type of hypocrisy.

[@Pirat1775]

So why MONSTER waves can't sink these lifeboats?

[@UQRXD]

Lifeboats are advanced survival crafts for rescue or evacuation and long-term survival or sustenance at sea. On the other hand, any rescue boat should have the minimum conditions of the immediate or quick-response rescue of passengers irrespective of the subsequent sustenance period. USCG Veteran.

[@hsdsaunders]

That's a Shipboard Lifeboat these are Rescue Lifeboats. In the UK and Ireland we call rescue boats Lifeboats too. In fact the UK and Ireland's rescue service is called the Royal National Lifeboat Institution

One of these boats are the only way I would go in the ocean now a days. What I especially worry about is sharks.

[@drgeoffangel5422]

Both lifeboats and rescue boats need to be unsinkable and self righting when overturned by large waves, this is a design given. Furthermore, unless the passengers/ crew are safe when being tossed over and over in high seas, Ie not thrown about inside to get injured or killed, then it doesn't matter if the boat sinks or not, since, a dead crew, or passengers are still dead! Thus safety harnesses/seat belts etc. must be good enough to secure the occupants. If these conditions are met, then the rescue/ life boat could be useful in saving lives at peril at sea.

Then who saves the lifeboats lifeboat?

[@James-hb8qu]

I'm not convinced. It sounds good. But so many of the rescue stories I've gone over have such a high incidence of failure of these systems. From survival suits to fully enclosed boats there always seems to be a failure or problem that leaves me wondering if the design/test mentally is fully in touch with the realities and chaos of real world events.

[@gorillaguerillaDK]

What kind of failures are you alluding to? And which incidents? One thing that is important to remember is that mistakes made by humans or lack of training in using the equipment aren't a failure of the equipment. Occupants not knowing how to right a capsized liferaft isn't a failure of the equipment. Equipment not working because parts have been removed or are expired are not a failure of the equipment. Most cases I've heard about where equipment malfunctioned it has been due to the crew not making sure the equipment lived up to required standards and was in the required condition. Or used non-certifiied equipment to save money. On very rare occasions there have been some incidents where things went terribly wrong - such as the Penlee Lifeboat Disaster, and the RF2 Disaster at Hirtshals! Both happened December 1981!

[@James-hb8qu]

@@gorillaguerillaDK I've spent a career leading engineering organizations in the design, manufacturing, and investigations into quality accidents. A bad design is one where the engineers design the solution around how they want the world to play out. A good design is one that takes into account the real world situation including imperfect training, flooding, fire, explosions, confusion, and panic. To design a safety solution that only works in good weather and then say "well, of course if failed, they used it in the rain" is not a valid engineering solution. While not the best example, but one that was top-of-mind, is the Deepwater Horizon explosion. Even this less-than-ideal example is full of situations where the design and expectations of the life boat/raft engineers did not line up with reality. You can find the report by googling "deepwater horizon-roi-uscg-volume-i-20110707-redacted-final" Some low energy (I'm lazy and don't want to spend a lot of time on this) quotes: 1) "The liferaft tilted approximately 90 degrees, ejecting the off-watch toolpusher from the stretcher while the other occupants tumbled within the confines of the liferaft.185 Once the liferaft hit the water, the on-watch DPO fell out of the raft and swam away. Someone then noticed the painter line was still attached to DEEPWATER HORIZON. None of the occupants of the liferaft had a knife to cut the painter line, nor could they find the knife" 2) "The lifeboat design may also be inadequate to meet the needs of an offshore drilling rig crew. It is generally recognized that the average offshore worker weighs closer to 95 kg (210 pounds) rather than the present standard of 82.5 kg (180 pounds). Thus, an approved lifeboat intended for the carriage of offshore workers could have insufficient overall seat width to permit the maximum number of persons the life boat was designed for to board." 3) "This experience showed that the actual use of a liferaft served by a launching appliance on a column stabilized MODU, during an uncontrolled well event, is particularly hazardous." 4) "The current lifeboat design and testing requirements do not adequately ensure the safe loading of a stretcher or permit adequate seating to accommodate the physical build of the average offshore worker today." 5) "The liferaft launch area had no effective barrier to shield it from the intense heat of the fire that threatened to incinerate the liferaft." 6) "After the davit’s releasing hook was attached to one of the three nearby rafts, the davit itself could not rotate outboard from the side of DEEPWATER HORIZON in order to inflate the raft. After he removed the shackle pin with a small tool, the davit finally rotated to allow the liferaft to be inflated" (note: he had to find a tool for this) 7) "it filled with black smoke and got so hot that the chief mate could not find the brake handle to release the raft" 8) "The master determined there was not enough time to manually crank the davit’s releasing hook back to the davit to deploy another liferaft." 9) "The boundaries established at the bow Liferaft Embarkation Station were inadequate to shield evacuating personnel from exposure to radiant heat emanating from under DEEPWATER HORIZON’s column stabilized hull." 10) "The inflatable liferafts on DEEPWATER HORIZON served by launching appliances did not provide adequate protection for occupants under the circumstances. The exposure to extreme heat due to the proximity of the fire to the launching area, combined with the lack of a water spray system, placed them at greater risk during the evacuation." 11) "The storage location of the knife in DEEPWATER HORIZON’s liferaft was not easily identifiable to the occupants. Had reflective tape and standard IMO symbols been used, the occupants likely could have found the knife and freed the raft from the painter line on their own." Again, a successful safety evacuation system is one that works under the real world events that occur. A system in place for a drilling platform that needs to evacuate in the case of a fire and/or explosion should be one that will operate in the event of a fire and/or explosion. My experience reading reports like this shows a pattern where the reality consistently is at odds with the design expectations.

They willingly risk their lives, to save others, but bare in mind ,Most of the crew members, are ''unpaid Volunteers'' they all attend RNLI college and thus, are obversely superbly trained in what they do, the RNLI is a charity organization it receives 94 % funding from donations from the public, only 1% from government funds, since it is independent. other funding comes from investments and trading just so you know .
