When are pre and post inspections conducted for the HSB?

Pre and post inspections for the HSB (Heavy Small Boat) are conducted both before and after embarking to ensure operational readiness and safety. This practice encompasses a thorough examination of the vessel's systems, equipment, and overall condition prior to use, which helps identify any issues that might impede performance during operation. Conducting a post-inspection after debarking is equally crucial, as it allows personnel to assess the vessel's condition post-mission, addressing any wear or damage that may have occurred during use. This dual emphasis on inspection is part of standard operating procedures and enhances the safety and effectiveness of maritime operations.
