Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew members, engineers, and operators on board ships depend heavily on evacuation systems like Ernst Hatecke GmbH’s FFA 5,5 M to ensure safety during emergencies. This SOLAS-approved model is designed for crew evacuation and safety, with a capacity certified by international standards. Known for its robustness, the diesel engine requires regular testing to prevent start-up failures, while the release hook mechanism must be serviced annually due to critical safety implications. The GRP hull should be inspected during docking, and a thorough examination every five years ensures longevity and reliability. Spare parts are available through Ernst Hatecke GmbH or authorized partners with a typical lead time of 2-6 weeks.
