Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
The FFA 5,7 C is a crew evacuation and safety device designed to meet stringent maritime safety standards. Manufactured by Hatecke GmbH, this equipment is SOLAS certified and has a capacity for persons as specified by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The FFA 5,7 C is approved by DNV and features a unique model number, 5984813 HH, confirming its compliance with international safety regulations. Regular maintenance is crucial for the operational integrity of the FFA 5,7 C. Weekly engine tests of at least five minutes are required to prevent diesel motor start failures. The release hook mechanism must be serviced annually by an approved service provider to avoid corrosion and blockages, which are critical safety issues. Additionally, the glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) hull should be inspected for osmotic blisters following prolonged water contact, and the air supply system vent must be checked for potential failure. Spare parts for the FFA 5,7 C can be obtained from Hatecke GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. A thorough inspection every five years is recommended to ensure the equipment remains in optimal condition.
