110.2 All at Sea.

Now I know that B.S. 7671 does not cover equipment aboard ships covered by other BS numbers, BUT a lot can be learned by the thoroughness of inspection and testing shown in this video, and the marvellous selection of spares carried and safely stored..................

    This is a training video prepared by BP Tanker Co. Ltd, which is now BP Shipping Ltd (see the notice placed on the circuit breaker at the 2.00 minute mark). I would date this to be the early 70's based on several things (assuming they were using a reasonably new ship to do the filming on). Being a British company the Classification Society mentioned would be Lloyd's Register, who had in their Rules and Regulations at the time requirements for the electrical spares to be carried by ships. This requirement was dropped in 1978 due to commercial pressures (that is, the cost of checking all the spares vs. the value provided in doing so) since all sensible shipping companies would still carry the selection of spares shown as there is no point in being stuck in mid-Atlantic because a vital relay costing £5 has failed and the nearest spare is 1,500 miles away....


    I should point out that the shipping companies that weren't sensible didn't remain in business very long.
