Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the reliability and safety of equipment like the FFB 5,7 M from Ernst Hatecke GmbH. This model is designed to meet SOLAS certification standards for crew evacuation and safety. The unit's capacity is specified according to SOLAS regulations for personnel evacuation. To maintain its operational readiness, it is essential to conduct weekly engine tests for a minimum of five minutes and to perform annual servicing of the release hook mechanism by an approved service provider. The GRP hull requires inspection during docking, with a thorough examination every five years. Common issues include corrosion and blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel engine start failure due to infrequent testing, osmotic blister formation in the GRP hull from prolonged water contact, and the potential failure of the air supply system's valve. Spare parts are available through Ernst Hatecke GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks.
