Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
The Rhs.S.10/4,0-15/3,5 davit system is designed for crew evacuation and safety operations as per SOLAS certification requirements. Manufactured by Global Davit GmbH, this model ensures reliable operation through a combination of robust design and regular maintenance checks. Key inspection points include the on-load release gear (OLRG), which requires annual functional testing with 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL) to ensure proper relocking after tests; wire ropes must be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and wear, particularly if more than 10% of the length shows damage in a span of eight diameters. Bremse components, including centrifugal and holding brakes, should be checked for brake lining wear and functionality, while the davit structure’s zinc coating integrity and non-destructive testing (NDT) must be verified to prevent issues such as those faced on the RRS Sir David Attenborough in 2021. Compliance with regular maintenance schedules is crucial, ensuring only authorized personnel perform service tasks according to SOLAS MSC.402(96).
