Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew members and safety officers rely on davit systems like the one manufactured by Global Davit GmbH for crew evacuation and safety compliance on board ships. The W07R.01.05 model is IMO-approved and meets SOLAS certification standards, ensuring it can safely deploy lifeboats and rescue equipment when needed. Common failure points include the on-load release gear (OLRG), which requires an annual functional test at 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL), followed by a visual inspection for corrosion and wear. Wire ropes must be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with any compromised sections requiring replacement. Bremse (centrifugal and holding brakes) need regular checks for wear on the brake lining and adherence to the SOLAS descent rate guidelines. The davit structure itself is prone to corrosion, necessitating regular non-destructive testing for cracks and damage. Maintenance compliance is critical, with weekly engine tests and annual release hook servicing by approved service providers. Comprehensive five-year thorough examinations, along with logbook documentation of all inspections and repairs, are required to ensure ongoing compliance with SOLAS regulations. Spare parts are available from Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks.
