Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Designed to ensure rapid and safe deployment of life rafts, the single arm life raft davit (Type PBR 33) by Palfinger Marine Safety AS is a reliable solution for crew evacuation and safety. This davit system is certified per SOLAS standards, ensuring it meets the rigorous requirements for persons' capacity in emergency situations. Common issues such as corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism can pose critical safety risks, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance. Additionally, diesel engine start failures due to infrequent testing and osmotic blistering of the GRP hull from prolonged water contact are known challenges that require attention. Regular servicing is crucial; weekly engine test runs for a minimum of five minutes, annual release hook servicing by an approved service provider as per SOLAS MSC.402(96), and thorough inspections every five years help maintain optimal performance. Spare parts for the single arm life raft davit (Type PBR 33) are available through Palfinger Marine Safety AS or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks. Regular maintenance not only ensures safety but also extends the lifespan of critical components like safety belts and valves that can degrade due to UV exposure and weathering.
