What are the UK statutory requirements where the berthing arrangements and trading patterns of ships make the launching of lifeboats on one side impracticable?

In ships of Classes II, II(A), VIII or VIII(A) only, if the berthing arrangements and trading patterns make launching on one side impracticable, then launching on that side at 3-monthly intervals is not required, but all lifeboats on that side must be lowered at least once every 3 months and launched at least annually.
