Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
This maritime safety equipment utilizes a robust design with a diesel engine to power the evacuation and safety functions. Hatecke GmbH offers the Duplex3.5, a crew evacuation and safety device certified for a specific number of persons according to SOLAS regulations. The Duplex3.5 boasts DNV approval, evidenced by the model number "MEDB000094N" and listed on the DNV approval finder. The device is essential for crew safety during emergencies, ensuring a rapid and controlled evacuation from a vessel. However, it's crucial to understand potential common failures. These include corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism, which is a critical safety concern. Other potential issues include diesel motor start failures due to infrequent testing, osmotically induced blistering on the GRP hull, malfunctioning air supply system valves, and aging of safety harnesses and gear caused by UV exposure and weathering. Regular maintenance, including weekly engine test runs and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider, is vital. Additionally, a thorough examination should be conducted every five years, and the GRP hull should be inspected at each docking. Spare parts are available through Hatecke GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks.
