Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
On modern ships, davit systems like the Rhs.L.S.15/3,6-9,9/3,6 02E.02 are essential for crew evacuation and safety, ensuring that lifeboats can be securely deployed and retrieved in emergency situations. The system is IMO-approved and certified by DNV, adhering to stringent SOLAS standards. Regular maintenance and inspections are critical to its reliable operation. For instance, the on-load release gear (OLRG) requires an annual functional test with a load of 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL) and a visual inspection for corrosion or wear. Wire ropes must be checked for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, and should be turned for full inspection and renewal according to the manufacturer's interval. The brake system, including the centrifugal and holding brake, needs to be inspected for wear on the brake lining and proper descent speed, which must not exceed SOLAS specifications. Additionally, the davit's structural integrity must be monitored for corrosion and potential fractures, especially after incidents like the RRS Sir David Attenborough in 2021, where severe corrosion due to inadequate maintenance led to a failure. Spare parts for this equipment are available from Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Regular maintenance, including weekly engine test runs and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider, is mandatory for compliance with SOLAS regulations.
