Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
The LB2.5 is a crew evacuation safety system designed by Vestdavit AS, offering a reliable solution for maritime personnel safety. Certified according to SOLAS standards, the LB2.5 is approved by DNV for safe and efficient crew evacuation operations. The system is capable of accommodating the number of persons specified by SOLAS certification, ensuring compliance with international maritime safety regulations. Common issues that may arise include corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel engine start failure due to inadequate regular testing, osmotic blistering in the GRP hull from prolonged water exposure, air supply system valve failure, and aging of safety belts and harnesses due to UV and weather conditions. Spare parts for the LB2.5 can be obtained from Vestdavit AS or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time ranging from 2 to 6 weeks. For maintenance, the diesel engine should undergo a weekly test run of at least 5 minutes, and the release hook should be serviced annually by an approved service provider following SOLAS MSC.402(96) guidelines. Additionally, the GRP hull requires inspection at each docking, and the system should undergo a thorough examination every five years.
