Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
On modern ships, davit systems like the Rhs.L.(20)23,2/4,0 are crucial for crew evacuation and safety, adhering to international regulations such as SOLAS. Designed to handle the rigors of maritime life, this davit system is IMO-approved and comes with DNV certification. Its primary function is to safely deploy and retrieve lifeboats, ensuring that all safety standards are met. Regular maintenance and inspections are vital to keep the system operational. Key areas for inspection include the on-load release gear (OLRG), which requires annual testing and verification of its locking mechanism for proper function. Wire ropes must be checked for signs of wear, corrosion, or kinking, and should be replaced if more than 10% of the strands are broken over an 8-diameter length. The brake system, crucial for controlling descent speed, needs to meet specific SOLAS standards, ensuring a safe and controlled lowering speed. Additionally, the davit's structural integrity must be monitored for corrosion and potential damage, especially in critical load-bearing components. Regular maintenance logs and compliance with manufacturer instructions are essential, with only authorized personnel conducting inspections and servicing. Replacement parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distributors, with lead times ranging from 2 to 6 weeks.
