Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Regular maintenance and rigorous adherence to inspection protocols are crucial for ensuring the reliability and safety of crew evacuation systems, such as the Rhs.L.S.14/3,25-10/4,1 02E.02 from Global Davit GmbH. This model is designed to meet SOLAS certification requirements and has been approved by both IMO and DNV, ensuring it meets stringent safety standards. Key areas of focus during inspections include the On-Load Release Gear (OLRG), which requires an annual functional test with 1.1 times its Safe Working Load (SWL) and a five-year dynamic test as per SOLAS III / MSC.402(96). Wire ropes should be checked for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with replacements made if more than 10% of the wires are damaged within an 8d length. The braking system must also be regularly inspected to ensure proper brake lining wear, correct lowering speed (SOLAS S=0.4+0.02H, max ~36 m/min), and functional remote release capabilities. Additionally, the davit structure should be examined for corrosion, particularly in zinc-coated areas and stainless steel fittings. Compliance with maintenance schedules is essential; all annual and five-year inspections must be documented, and only authorized personnel should perform these tasks according to manufacturer instructions (MSC.1/Circ.1205 Rev.1). Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or its authorized distribution partners, typically within a 2-6 week lead time. For ongoing service, the engine should be tested weekly for at least five minutes, and release hooks must be serviced annually by an approved provider. GRP hull inspections should also be conducted during docking to ensure structural integrity.
