Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew members on board vessels rely on robust evacuation systems like the PLR-5002 from Vestdavit AS to ensure their safety during emergencies. This evacuation system is SOLAS-certified for personnel capacity, providing a critical layer of security for maritime operations. It is IMO-approved and holds a DNV certification, ensuring compliance with international safety standards. Common issues that can arise include corrosion and blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel motor start failure due to inadequate testing, osmotic blistering in the GRP hull from prolonged water exposure, vent failure in the air supply system, and harness wear from UV and weather conditions. Spare parts are available through Vestdavit AS or authorized distribution partners, with a typical lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Regular maintenance includes weekly engine test runs for a minimum of 5 minutes and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider as per SOLAS MSC.402(96) guidelines. Additionally, the GRP hull requires inspection at each docking, and a thorough examination is recommended every five years to maintain optimal performance and safety.
