Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew members and safety officers rely on davit equipment to ensure the safe evacuation of personnel in emergencies at sea. Global Davit GmbH’s Gsp.FP.125/7,8 is a SOLAS-certified davit designed for crew evacuation and safety. The model is IMO approved and listed in the DNV-approval-finder database, ensuring compliance with international maritime standards. Maintenance includes annual inspection of the on-load release gear, wire ropes, and braking systems, as well as a five-year dynamic test. Wire ropes should be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, while braking systems must be checked for wear and proper operation. The davit’s structural integrity is crucial, so corrosion checks should be thorough, especially in critical areas. Regular maintenance and compliance with SOLAS regulations are essential, with only authorized personnel conducting necessary inspections and servicing. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with lead times ranging from 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine tests and annual release hook servicing are also required. A thorough examination every five years and periodic inspections of the GRP hull at docking help maintain the equipment’s reliability and safety.
