Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
The Glp.MP.135 W 20 L davit system is designed to meet the rigorous standards set by SOLAS for crew evacuation and safety, ensuring reliable operation in maritime emergencies. This device is IMO-approved and holds a DNV certification, making it a trusted choice for vessel safety. Its design includes critical components such as the on-load release gear (OLRG), which requires annual functional testing at 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL) and a five-year dynamic test as per SOLAS III and MSC.402(96). The system's wire ropes must be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, necessitating replacement if more than 10% of the strands are damaged over an 8-diameter length. Additionally, the brakes, both centrifugal and holding, need regular maintenance to ensure proper deceleration rates, with a maximum speed of 36 meters per minute. The davit structure itself must be protected against corrosion, with zinc-coated parts and stainless steel fasteners inspected for signs of perforation and discoloration. Regular maintenance, including weekly engine tests and annual release hook servicing, is essential, as well as thorough inspections every five years. Spare parts for this model are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distributors, with typical lead times ranging from two to six weeks.
