Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
On modern ships, davit systems like the Rhs.L.Sc.S.21/3,5-40/3-20/7 04E.04 are essential for crew evacuation and safety, complying with SOLAS regulations. These systems are designed to handle the rigors of maritime environments, ensuring reliable operation in emergency situations. The davit is IMO-approved and features a universal design verified by DNV. Regular maintenance is critical to its performance, including annual functional testing of the on-load release gear at 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL), followed by a lock integrity check. Wire ropes must be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, requiring replacement if more than 10% of strands are damaged over an 8-diameter length. The braking system must be tested for proper deceleration, adhering to SOLAS standards, and should be maintained to prevent malfunction. Structural corrosion and integrity checks are also necessary to prevent severe damage as seen in past incidents. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distributors, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine tests and annual release hook servicing by approved service providers are required, along with a thorough five-year examination.
