Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Ensuring reliable crew evacuation and safety involves meticulous maintenance. For the Global Davit GmbH W04E.04.21 model, annual inspections of critical components such as the On-Load-Release-Gear (OLRG) require a 1,1×SWL functional test followed by verifying the lock mechanism and checking for corrosion, wear, or cracks in the mechanism. Wire ropes must be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and frayed strands; any segments exceeding 10% wear over an 8d length should be replaced. Bremse components need to be checked for brake wear and functionality, with regular servicing mandated by SOLAS regulations. Structural corrosion is another key concern, particularly in zinc-coated parts and stainless steel fastenings, where non-destructive testing (NDT) is recommended. To maintain compliance, logged maintenance should be continuous from installation, adhering to manufacturer instructions and only by authorized personnel as per SOLAS MSC.1-Circ.1205 Rev.1 guidelines.
