Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
On a typical cargo ship, the Gsp.FP.145/6,09 davit system plays a crucial role in crew evacuation and safety during emergencies. This SOLAS-approved device must be inspected annually according to model-specific safe working load (SWL) guidelines, which are not automatically filled; instead, these must be manually updated. Regular checks include annual functionality tests of the on-load release gear with 1.1 times SWL, ensuring no damage or corrosion in critical areas such as hooks and wire ropes. The davit's structure requires vigilant inspection for signs of corrosion, especially after the RRS Sir David Attenborough incident in 2021. Comprehensive examinations should be conducted every five years to maintain optimal performance.
