Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
This maritime equipment falls under the category of crew evacuation and safety systems. The Lms.23,2/3,6 model is manufactured by Global Davit GmbH and is SOLAS certified for personnel capacity. This davit system is IMO approved and carries the DNV approval from the DNV-Approval-Finder source. The Lms.23,2/3,6 is designed to ensure crew safety and evacuation efficiency, adhering to stringent international standards. Common failures identified for this model include issues with the on-load-release gear (OLRG), wire ropes, brakes, structural corrosion, and compliance with maintenance schedules. Annual functional testing of the OLRG at 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL) is required, followed by a visual inspection for wear and tear. Wire ropes should be checked for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with replacement recommended if more than 10% of the rope length is affected. Brake checks should focus on the wear of brake linings and the remote release function, ensuring the brake is not blocked due to lack of maintenance. Structural corrosion is a critical concern, particularly with zinc-coated structures and stainless steel fasteners, which must be monitored for pitting and discolouration. Compliance with maintenance schedules is crucial, including weekly engine test runs and annual servicing of release hooks by approved service providers. Five-year thorough examinations are mandatory to ensure the system remains in optimal working condition. Spare parts are available from Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks.
