Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew members, engineers, and operators on board ships heavily rely on equipment like the Hatecke GmbH Gxp.FLh.180 for crew evacuation and safety, ensuring their well-being in emergency situations. Certified by SOLAS standards, this model is approved by DNV and equipped with a diesel engine that requires regular testing to prevent start-up failures. Common issues include corrosion of the release hook mechanism, osmotic blistering on the GRP hull due to prolonged water contact, and failure of the air supply system's ventilation. Maintenance includes weekly engine test runs for at least five minutes, annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider, and periodic inspection of the GRP hull during docking. Spare parts are available from Hatecke GmbH or authorized partners with a lead time of 2-6 weeks, and a comprehensive examination is recommended every five years to ensure reliability and safety.
