That was good information, but you have not answer my question about any load test to be carry out after the rope change..
the wirerope charge always drop in a annual inspection. That mean the Unload Function Lifeboat Test and the Dynamich Brake Test also have to be done. With the Dynamic Brake test, The brake will be tested and at the same time, the wirerope also checked with the boat weight.
After re-new or end to end the wirerope, the requirement is have to sure that the length of two ropes must in correct length. If not, the accident may cause.
