Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crews rely on robust davits for safe and reliable crew evacuation in emergencies, ensuring the well-being of all personnel on board. The Vestdavit PLR-12005 is a powerful piece of maritime equipment designed for crew evacuation and safety. This davit meets SOLAS certification requirements and has been approved by DNV, as verified through the DNV approval finder. Potential issues with the PLR-12005 can include corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism, failure of the diesel motor during starting due to insufficient testing, osmotically induced blistering of the GRP hull from prolonged water contact, malfunctioning of the air supply system valve, and degradation of safety harnesses and lanyards due to UV exposure and weathering. To ensure optimal performance and safety, Vestdavit recommends weekly engine test runs (minimum 5 minutes), annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider in accordance with SOLAS MSC.402(96), and regular GRP hull inspections during docking intervals. A thorough examination of the PLR-12005 is recommended every five years. Spare parts are available through Vestdavit AS or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks.
