COMMENT THIS PHOTO(15)
Yes, I did come across those lines like a year ago but it didn't directly answer why all freighters over 94m LOA have a free fall lifeboat & those under - not. Take the odd 93m Hartman M2 Runner OCEANIC & 95m Intersee's ZARA for example.

So I took the book and and started searching the ships Sietas built in 1983 (keeping Peter's comment in mind) thinking this might be of help here.

Looks like I was wrong and the lifeboat was fitted from new

She was launched on October 24, 1983, and delivered to shipping company Hein Georg Vöge at Drochtersen, Germany, on December 30, 1983...
Cheers, Jens

Off the top of my head, the oldest vessel I can remember with a freefall was the chemical tanker 'Heinrich Essberger', built in 1986 and also from Siestas.

However, if you look on point 1.2, you will see that Cargo Ships, in lieu of meeting the requirement of paragraph 1.1, cargo ships may carry one or more free fall lifeboats. If Cargo ships(except tankers) are below 85 meters, they m a y carry rafts only. :-)

I'd imagine much of the decision comes down to the intended trading pattern of the vessel and trading area.

I mean it's necessary to have that lifeboat if she's a tanker, but this is the first time I see that lifeboat on a usual 89m freighter. All such have just a MOB boat & 2-3 liferafts.
