Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Designed to ensure rapid and safe evacuation in maritime emergencies, the RB400 relies on a diesel motor-driven mechanism to quickly deploy life-saving equipment. This model is certified for the evacuation of persons according to SOLAS regulations and is IMO approved, with its approval details sourced from the DNV-approval-finder database. The RB400 is manufactured by Hatecke GmbH and is designated as model MEDB00008WR. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent critical failures such as corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel engine start failures due to lack of periodic testing, and osmotic blistering of the GRP hull from prolonged water exposure. Additionally, the air supply system's valve can fail, and safety belts may degrade due to UV and weather conditions. Spare parts for the RB400 can be obtained from Hatecke GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a typical lead time of 2-6 weeks. The weekly maintenance routine includes a minimum five-minute engine test run, annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider as per SOLAS MSC.402(96), and a GRP hull inspection at docking intervals. A thorough examination is required every five years to ensure continued safety and compliance.
