Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
This equipment is primarily used for crew evacuation and safety on ships, ensuring compliance with international maritime regulations. Certified to carry persons according to SOLAS standards, the FFA 8.1 C-24 is approved by DNV and adheres to IMO guidelines. Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to prevent common failures such as corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel motor start failures due to inadequate testing, and osmotic blister formation in the GRP hull from prolonged water contact. Additionally, annual servicing of the release hook by an approved provider and a five-year thorough examination are required to maintain safety and compliance. Weekly engine tests for a minimum of five minutes are also necessary to ensure the diesel motor operates reliably. Spare parts are available through Hatecke GmbH or authorized distributors, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks.
