Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Marine davit systems are essential equipment for crew evacuation and safety on ships. The W02E.FAM1 model, manufactured by Global Davit GmbH, is a SOLAS-certified device designed to meet stringent safety standards. This davit is IMO-approved and carries the model number MEDB00004VS, as verified by DNV's approval database. Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to ensure its reliability, with annual functional tests required to check the on-load-release gear (OLRG) at 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL) and a five-year dynamic test. Wire ropes should be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, requiring replacement if more than 10% of the strands are broken over an 8-diameter length. The braking system must be checked for wear on the brake lining and proper remote-release functionality. Additionally, the davit structure should be monitored for corrosion, especially in areas prone to saltwater exposure. Maintenance compliance is critical, and weekly engine test runs, as well as annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider, are mandatory. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks.
