Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew evacuation equipment and safety devices are critical for maritime operations. The PAPH-7000 model by Vestdavit AS is SOLAS-certified for persons capacity and falls under the category of crew evacuation systems. This device has been DNV-approved, ensuring its reliability and compliance with international standards. Common issues include corrosion or blockage in the release hook mechanism, diesel motor start failures due to lack of regular testing, osmotic blister formation on GRP hulls from prolonged water contact, failure of the air supply system’s ventilation, and aging of safety harnesses due to UV exposure and weathering. Regular maintenance is crucial; weekly engine tests are required for a minimum of five minutes, while release hook servicing should be done annually by an approved service provider. Additionally, GRP hull inspections at docking intervals are necessary, with a thorough examination every five years. Spare parts can be ordered through Vestdavit AS or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks.
