Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew evacuation and safety are paramount on modern vessels, ensuring that all personnel can be swiftly and securely transferred to lifeboats when necessary. The Rhs.L.14/3,5 02E.02.21 is a critical component in this process, designed for use in SOLAS-certified crew evacuation systems. This davit model, with its IMO approval, meets stringent safety standards as verified by DNV. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential to ensure the Rhs.L.14/3,5 02E.02.21 functions reliably. The on-load release gear (OLRG) must undergo an annual functional test at 1.1 times its safe working load (SWL), with a five-year dynamic test as per SOLAS III / MSC.402(96). Additionally, wire ropes should be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with replacement required if more than 10% of the wires are damaged over an 8d length. The braking system, including both centrifugal and holding brakes, must be checked for wear and proper operation, ensuring the lowering speed does not exceed 36 meters per minute. The davit structure itself should be inspected for corrosion, particularly in areas prone to galvanic attack. Regular compliance with maintenance schedules is crucial, with all activities logged annually and every five years. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, typically within a lead time of 2-6 weeks. Weekly engine test runs, annual release hook servicing by an approved provider, and thorough GRP hull inspections during docking further contribute to the reliability and safety of this vital equipment.
