Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
This davit system is designed to meet stringent international safety standards, specifically for crew evacuation and safety purposes. The Vestdavit AS H-9001, as per SOLAS certification, provides a reliable evacuation solution with a capacity for persons as required by the regulations. Certified by DNV, the H-9001 includes an IMO-approved design that ensures compliance with maritime safety guidelines. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent common failures such as corrosion and blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel motor start failure due to lack of regular testing, osmotic blister formation in the GRP hull from prolonged water contact, and air supply system valve failure. Spare parts are available from Vestdavit AS or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine test runs for at least five minutes and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider are required. Additionally, the GRP hull requires inspection during docking, and a thorough examination every five years to maintain optimal performance and safety.
