Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Ensuring reliable crew evacuation and safety is paramount, as highlighted by the common failures associated with davit systems. The Rhp.17,5/2,7 model from Global Davit GmbH is SOLAS-approved, meeting stringent international standards. Regular checks include annual functional testing of the On-Load-Release-Gear (OLRG) using 1.1 times the SWL load, inspecting for corrosion and wear on wire ropes, verifying centrifugal and holding brakes, and preventing structural corrosion through non-destructive testing. Compliance with service schedules is crucial; logbook entries must be complete, and only authorized personnel should perform maintenance as per SOLAS MSC.402(96). Weekly engine tests and five-year comprehensive examinations are recommended to ensure the system's readiness for operation.
