Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew members and safety officers rely on reliable evacuation systems to ensure quick and safe evacuation in emergency situations at sea. Vestdavit AS's PLD-6002 is a SOLAS-certified device designed to meet international safety standards for crew evacuation. This equipment is IMO-approved and has been certified by DNV, ensuring compliance with maritime regulations. The PLD-6002 has a capacity to evacuate the number of persons as specified by SOLAS certification. Regular maintenance is crucial for the operation of this system. Common issues include corrosion and blockage of the release hook mechanism, failure of the diesel motor due to infrequent testing, osmotic blistering in the GRP hull from prolonged water contact, and failure of the air supply system valve. Spare parts are available through Vestdavit AS or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Maintenance protocols include weekly engine tests (at least 5 minutes) and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider as per SOLAS MSC.402(96). Additionally, the GRP hull requires inspection at docking, and a thorough examination is recommended every five years.
