Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Designed to enhance crew safety and evacuation efficiency, the Glp.MP.165 from Global Davit GmbH adheres to rigorous SOLAS certification standards, ensuring its reliability in maritime environments. This davit system is IMO-approved and certified by DNV, providing a robust solution for crew evacuation. Key maintenance points include the annual inspection and function test of the on-load release gear (OLRG) at 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL), followed by a relocking mechanism check. Wire ropes must be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and strand breaks, with a full turn required for a comprehensive inspection as per manufacturer guidelines. The brake system, including both centrifugal and holding brakes, should be regularly checked for wear and correct deceleration rates, with remote release functionality verified. Structural integrity is also critical, with inspections for corrosion and potential fatigue cracks in the davit structure. Additionally, compliance with planned maintenance schedules is essential, ensuring that yearly and five-year inspections are documented and performed by authorized personnel. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distributors, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine tests and biannual hull inspections are recommended to maintain optimal performance.
