Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
On modern ships, crew evacuation systems are critical for ensuring safety during emergencies. The W04L.01 davit system is designed to meet these needs, certified under SOLAS for crew evacuation and safety applications. It is IMO-approved and has undergone DNV approval, ensuring compliance with stringent maritime regulations. The system's capacity is based on SOLAS certification standards, making it a reliable option for crew rescue operations. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure its proper function. Annual inspections of the on-load release gear (OLRG) must include a 1.1 times SWL functional test and verification of the locking mechanism for signs of corrosion or wear. Wire ropes should be checked for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with replacements necessary if over 10% are broken over an 8d length. The brake system should be tested for proper braking and remote-release functionality. Additionally, the davit structure must be inspected for signs of corrosion or fatigue cracks. Maintenance logs should record all planned maintenance since installation, including yearly and five-year inspections. Spare parts can be obtained through Global Davit GmbH or authorized partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine test runs and annual hook servicing by approved service providers are required, as is a GRP hull inspection at docking intervals.
