Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Designed to meet stringent safety and evacuation standards, the C-244 from Vestdavit AS is a robust davit system for crew evacuation. Certified under SOLAS for personnel capacity, it ensures compliance with international maritime regulations. Approved by DNV, this model adheres to the IMO standards, providing reliable and safe operation. Common issues include corrosion and blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel motor start failures due to inadequate testing, osmotic blistering in the GRP hull from prolonged water exposure, and air supply system valve failure. Additionally, harness and webbing degradation from UV and weather conditions may occur. Maintenance includes weekly engine testing for a minimum of five minutes and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider. The GRP hull requires inspection during docking, and a thorough examination every five years. Spare parts are available through Vestdavit AS or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks.
