Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
On board ships, the LT8.5R is commonly used for crew evacuation and safety purposes, adhering to SOLAS regulations. This equipment is IMO-approved and certified through DNV, ensuring compliance with maritime safety standards. Designed to transport a specific number of persons as certified by SOLAS, it features a diesel engine that requires weekly testing to prevent start failures. Additionally, the GRP hull needs regular inspections to avoid osmotic blistering from prolonged water exposure, which is a critical safety concern. The release hook mechanism must be serviced annually by an approved service provider to maintain its functionality. Furthermore, the air supply system's vent must be checked for any potential failures that could compromise safety. Spare parts for maintenance and repairs are available through Hatecke GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks.
