	TSB Reports - Marine 1998 - M98W0245
		The nationalities of the 22-person crew on the Iolcos Grace at the time of the occurrence were diverse, with crew members from Greece, Ukraine and the Philippines.
		In the lifeboats on the Iolcos Grace, the release mechanism does not have a hydrostatic interlock for preventing premature release of the hooks, nor was there a requirement to have such a release.
		Contributing to the occurrence was the fact that the crew were unfamiliar with the procedures for resetting hooks, the manufacturer's instruction manual for the lifeboat launching and retrieval operations was incomplete and difficult to comprehend, and the inspection by Class and shipboard personnel was less than thorough.
