Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Regular and thorough maintenance is crucial for ensuring the reliability and safety of maritime equipment such as davits. Global Davit GmbH’s W020L.17.01 model is certified by SOLAS and approved by DNV, adhering to stringent international standards for crew evacuation and safety. The davit is designed to handle persons according to SOLAS regulations and includes features such as an on-load release gear (OLRG) that requires annual functional testing and a 5-year dynamic test. Additionally, wire ropes must be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with replacement needed if over 10% of the rope length shows damage. The braking system, which includes a centrifugal and holding brake, must be checked for wear and proper deceleration speed. The davit’s structure should be inspected for corrosion and structural integrity, with non-destructive testing recommended to detect any cracks. Maintenance compliance logs should be kept, and only authorized personnel should perform inspections and servicing according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks. Weekly engine tests and annual hook servicing by an approved service provider are also required.
