Air Receivers and Relief Valves
This Safety Alert addresses safety issues
relating to air receivers on Uninspected Towing Vessels. (UTV). Air receivers, regardless of specific use onboard a UTV, contain extreme amounts of
potential energy; an uncontrolled
release of this energy may lead to serious injury, death and catastrophic
vessel damage. Although this issue
is associated with basic safety concerns and good marine practices too many
related problems have been recently
discovered.
