Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew members and safety officers rely on davit systems like the Global Davit GmbH Rhs.L.S.21/3,6-40/3,0 04E.04 to ensure safe and efficient crew evacuation and rescue operations during emergencies at sea. This equipment is IMO approved and certified by DNV, adhering to SOLAS regulations. Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to prevent common failures such as issues with the on-load-release gear, wire ropes, and braking systems. For instance, the on-load-release gear requires annual functional testing with 1.1 times the safe working load, followed by a thorough inspection of the locking mechanism for corrosion and wear. Wire ropes need to be checked for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with any section showing more than 10% breakage over an 8-diameter length needing replacement. Bremse systems must be inspected for wear on the brake lining and for proper remote-release function. Additionally, the davit structure should be monitored for corrosion and structural integrity to avoid severe damage as seen in the case of the RRS Sir David Attenborough in 2021. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine tests and annual release hook servicing by approved service providers are mandatory, along with biennial GRP hull inspections and a thorough examination every five years.
