This European Standard applies to swing derricks used on inland navigation vessels. It specifies requirements
and test conditions which have to be observed for safety reasons.
Swing derricks are used for transfer of crew members ashore and back to the vessel for laying out ropes
during mooring and unmooring operations, particularly when the vessel is close to canals or riverbanks and
when no other safe means of getting ashore in those cases is possible.
