With the new resolution MSC 532(107) coming into effect on 1/1/2026 all loose lifting gear on ships need to be registered, inspected and certified both by crew and third party.

The webinar is mostly designed for ship crew/riggers who use these equipment and need to make sure they are in good condition to avoid any potential accidents.

We do not only discuss acceptance and rejection criteria, but good working practices and common misuses during rigging as well. As such we will touch briefly on rigging and focus on reduced SWL of said equipment when used at an angle.

Hopefully by the end, you will have a good grasp on how to inspect and use loose lifting gear.

As always the emphasis is to promote safety by understanding the proper usage and limitation of your equipment.
