Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
This equipment falls under the category of maritime safety and evacuation systems. The W08HC.05 model is manufactured by Global Davit GmbH and is certified according to SOLAS standards for crew evacuation. The W08HC.05 is IMO-approved and has undergone DNV certification, ensuring its reliability in maritime safety applications. It is crucial to adhere to the annual functional testing of the on-load release gear (OLRG) with 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL), followed by a lock mechanism inspection. Additionally, wire ropes should be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with any necessary replacements carried out according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. The brake system, including both centrifugal and holding brakes, should be regularly checked for wear and proper remote release functionality. The davit structure must be protected against corrosion, particularly by ensuring zinc-coated parts and stainless steel fasteners remain in good condition to prevent damage from neglect. Maintenance compliance is also essential, with all planned maintenance recorded in the logbook and performed by authorized personnel as per SOLAS MSC.1/Circ.1205 Rev.1 guidelines. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Regular weekly engine tests for a minimum of 5 minutes and annual release hook servicing by an approved service provider are required. Additionally, a thorough examination should be conducted every five years, and GRP hull inspections should be performed at docking intervals.
