Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
The FFA 5.8 C-17 by Hatecke GmbH is designed for crew evacuation and safety, adhering to SOLAS certification standards. This vessel features a diesel engine that requires regular testing to prevent start-up failures due to lack of maintenance. The GRP hull can develop osmotic blistering with prolonged water exposure, necessitating inspections at docking intervals. Critical safety concerns include the release hook mechanism, which can fail from corrosion or blockage, and the failure of ventilation systems. For optimal performance, weekly engine test runs of at least five minutes are recommended, along with annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider. A five-year thorough examination ensures ongoing reliability. Spare parts can be ordered through Hatecke GmbH or authorized partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks.
