Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial for the safe operation of crew evacuation and safety equipment. The W08H.18 davit by Global Davit GmbH must be meticulously checked annually to ensure compliance with SOLAS III standards. Key areas include the on-load release gear, which requires a yearly functional test at 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL), and the wire ropes, which should be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and wear every six months. The braking system must also be evaluated to prevent blockage and ensure proper operation during emergencies. Corrosion of the davit structure is another critical issue; regular non-destructive testing (NDT) helps detect potential failures early. Comprehensive five-year inspections are mandatory, ensuring long-term reliability and safety at sea.
