This is a brand new cruise ship by Seabourne Lines "Encore"

Why only three life boats on each side for 600 passenger's?

looking at the vessel 210m long she is required by SOLAS to have pop up life rafts every 100m so no doubt they are stowed at the fore-ward end while the life boats which likely have a capacity of 125 persons each are stowed aft thus fully complying with SOLAS chapter III.

Actually: Passengers 635 Crew 418=1053.... When it comes to evacuation, there are four lifeboat/tenders supplied by Hatecke. http://www.hatecke.de/fileadmin/content/pdf/Pel97.pdf These have capacity for 150 persons as lifeboats and 120 as tenders. Each is deployed by telescopic davits operated by hydraulic power packs. There are also two Hatecke life/rescue boats with a capacity of 120 persons and eight davit-launchable liferafts from Viking Life-Saving Equipment, each with capacity for 35. These are operated by four electric telescopic davits, two on each side. Lastly there are eight additional liferafts each with capacity for 35. All the davits are supplied by Navalimpianti. The passenger muster stations are on deck five in the club lounge/casino and on deck six in the show lounge. Crew muster on deck four in the restaurant. TOTAL EVAC. (davit'd) capacity imho =1,120 w/o the 8 extra liferafts. http://www.passengership.info/news/view,iseabourn-encorei-an-odyssey-of-innovation_45196.htm PEL 9.7 (Partially Enclosed Lifeboat) Naturally, I'll B on the one commanded by the Encore's first officer!

Nicknamed “The Devil Boat” and “Devilfish” because of her hull number, the USS Hawkbill was a Sturgeon-class attack submarine built for the U.S. Navy in the mid-1960s. She was the second Navy ship named for the hawksbill, a now-critically endangered sea turtle. The turtle’s name was inadvertently misspelled in the naming of the first ship – the World War II-era submarine USS Hawkbill (SS-366) – and the name of the second ship kept the erroneously spelled name.

Don't touch it Aktungbby ... just kidding
