Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Maritime vessels rely heavily on equipment such as davits for crew evacuation and safety compliance. The Rhp.15/2,7 & W04E.08 model, certified under SOLAS, ensures that ships can quickly deploy lifeboats to save lives in emergencies. This equipment is IMO approved and adheres to stringent standards set by DNV, ensuring reliable operation. The davit's capacity is certified for a specific number of persons, as required by SOLAS regulations. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent common failures such as issues with the on-load release gear (OLRG), wire ropes, and braking systems. Annual functional testing of the OLRG with 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL) and a five-year dynamic test are mandatory. Wire ropes need periodic inspection for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with replacement recommended if more than 10% of strands break over an 8-diameter length. Additionally, the brake system must be regularly checked for wear and proper operation, including the remote-release function. The structural integrity of the davit must also be monitored for corrosion, especially in critical load-bearing areas. Regular inspections and maintenance compliance are logged, and only authorized personnel are permitted to perform these tasks according to SOLAS guidelines. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distributors, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine test runs and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider are also required. A thorough five-year examination is necessary to maintain compliance with safety regulations.
