Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
This maritime equipment falls under the category of crew evacuation and safety systems. The W02E.31.01 model, manufactured by Global Davit GmbH, is designed to meet SOLAS certification standards and is IMO approved, with its approval details sourced from DNV. The model undergoes a yearly functional test with a load of 1.1 times its safe working load (SWL) for the on-load-release gear (OLRG), which must be verified and locked afterward. The system includes an inspection for corrosion, thread wear, and cracks, as well as a five-year dynamic test. Wire ropes are subject to checks for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with any section showing more than 10% breakage over an 8d length requiring replacement. Bremse maintenance involves inspecting the brake lining wear and ensuring the release function works correctly. The davit structure is made from galvanized steel, and any signs of corrosion, pitting, or cracking must be addressed immediately. Compliance with maintenance schedules is critical, with annual and five-year inspections logged meticulously. Only authorized personnel as per MSC.1/Circ.1205 Rev.1 should perform these tasks. Spare parts for the W02E.31.01 are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine test runs of at least 5 minutes are required, and the release hook servicing must be conducted annually by an approved service provider. The GRP hull should be inspected during docking, and a thorough examination is mandated every five years.
