Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew members, engineers, and operators on board ships depend on reliable evacuation equipment to ensure safety in emergencies. Vestdavit AS offers the PLR-7001 & 7002 models, which are SOLAS-certified for crew evacuation and safety. These units meet DNV approval and are designed with robust features such as a diesel engine that requires regular testing to prevent start-up failures. The release hook mechanism must be serviced annually by an approved service provider due to its critical role in safety. Additionally, operators should inspect the glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) hull for osmotic blisters after extended water contact and conduct weekly engine test runs of at least five minutes to maintain functionality. Spare parts can be ordered through Vestdavit AS or authorised partners with a lead time of 2-6 weeks. A thorough examination every five years is recommended to ensure the equipment remains in top condition for critical situations.
