Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
The FFB 5,7 MLP utilizes a diesel engine and a robust fiberglass reinforced plastic (GRP) hull to ensure reliable operation during crew evacuation and safety scenarios. Designed to meet SOLAS (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea) certification standards, this vessel is IMO (International Maritime Organization) approved and certified through DNV (Det Norske Veritas). Regular maintenance is critical to maintaining operational readiness, including a weekly engine test run for at least five minutes and annual servicing of the release hook mechanism by an approved service provider. The GRP hull requires inspection at each docking, with a thorough examination every five years to check for osmotic blistering due to prolonged water contact. Common issues include corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel engine start failure from infrequent testing, and wear of safety belts and harnesses from UV exposure and weather conditions. Spare parts are available through Ernst Hatecke GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks.
