15.6.4
For other lifting equipment used as part of an
offshore or
inshore lifting system, a valid certificate
issued by a Competent Person is to be provided showing that the item has been inspected within the
past 6 months. The exception to this are items used for general deck activities on the crane vessel for
which the onshore requirements are applicable provided there are no over the side lifts in which case
the offshore requirements still apply.
15.6.5
For other lifting equipment used as part of an
onshore lifting, a valid certificate issued by a Competent
Person is to be provided showing that the item has been inspected within the past 12 months. The
exceptions to this are items used for the load-out operations to/from a vessel of structures and any
essential equipment required for its subsequent installation, for which the offshore requirements are
applicable.
15.6.6
For other lift equipment required to be wet stored for an extended period prior to use (e.g. for the
recovery of a subsea asset), if the storage period is anticipated
beyond the inspection interval, the
means for satisfying any formal or regular inspection requirements should be agreed. The fabrication
requirements for other lift equipment which is wet stored are referenced in Section 14.4.4.
