Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew members and safety officers rely on equipment like the Hatecke RAFTI 2.5 for rapid and safe evacuation during emergencies at sea. Certified to SOLAS standards, this raft is designed to accommodate multiple persons as per regulatory requirements. The RAFTI 2.5 features an IMO-approved design and carries the DNV approval, ensuring compliance with stringent maritime safety regulations. Common issues include corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel engine start failure due to inadequate testing, and osmotic blistering on the GRP hull from prolonged water exposure. Additionally, air supply system valve failures and harness wear from UV and weather exposure are noted. Spare parts are available through Hatecke GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks. Regular maintenance is crucial, including weekly engine tests and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider. The GRP hull should be inspected during docking, and a comprehensive examination is required every five years.
