Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
This maritime equipment falls under the category of crew evacuation and safety systems, specifically designed for life raft handling. The Vestdavit AS Liferaft davit L-2500 & Winch C-244-1-C-W is an approved device that ensures efficient and reliable deployment of life rafts according to SOLAS standards. Certified by DNV, the system is designed to support up to a specified number of persons as per SOLAS certification. Common issues with the system include corrosion and blockage of the release hook mechanism, which is a critical safety issue, and failure of the diesel motor start due to insufficient regular testing. Additionally, the GRP hull may develop osmotic blisters from prolonged water contact, and the air supply system vent can fail. To maintain optimal performance, weekly engine tests for a minimum of five minutes are recommended, and the release hook requires annual servicing by an approved service provider as per SOLAS MSC.402(96). The GRP hull should be inspected during docking, and a thorough examination is advised every five years. Spare parts are available from Vestdavit AS or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks.
