Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
On modern ships, crew evacuation and safety systems are crucial for ensuring compliance with international maritime regulations. The Global Davit GmbH Gsp.O.80/2,0 is designed to meet these requirements, providing a reliable solution for safely launching lifeboats and evacuating personnel in emergency situations. Certified according to SOLAS standards, this davit is approved by DNV and conforms to IMO regulations. Its capacity is verified through rigorous testing to ensure it meets the specified load requirements. Maintenance is critical to the system's reliability, including annual functional testing of the on-load release gear at 1.1 times the safe working load, and regular inspections of wire ropes, brakes, and structural integrity. The davit's structure is made of zinc-coated steel with stainless steel fastenings to resist corrosion, but regular NDT testing is necessary to prevent issues like those seen in the RRS Sir David Attenborough incident in 2021. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine tests and thorough five-year examinations are also required to maintain compliance with SOLAS and IMO regulations.
