Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
The W04E.38.02qr davit system, designed by Global Davit GmbH, operates on a principle of reliable crew evacuation and safety, adhering to SOLAS certification standards for persons capacity. Featuring DNV approval, this model ensures compliance with international maritime regulations. Key areas of regular inspection include the on-load release gear, which requires annual functional testing at 1.1 times safe working load (SWL), checking for dryness in the lock and wear or cracks; wire ropes must be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and fraying, with replacements needed if over 10% of any section is affected beyond eight diameters. Bremse mechanisms, including centrifugal and holding brakes, need to be monitored for brake lining wear, proper release function, and unobstructed operation. The davit structure must also undergo non-destructive testing (NDT) for cracks, particularly in areas with zinc coating and stainless steel fastenings. Comprehensive five-year inspections are essential, alongside weekly engine test runs of at least five minutes and annual release hook servicing by an approved service provider to ensure optimal performance and safety.
