Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Marine davits are crucial safety equipment aboard ships, designed to launch and retrieve lifeboats safely. The Rhp.12/2,1 model by Global Davit GmbH is an example of such equipment, certified under SOLAS regulations for crew evacuation and safety. This model is IMO-approved and DNV-certified, ensuring compliance with maritime safety standards. The Rhp.12/2,1 includes annual functional testing of the on-load release gear at 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL), followed by a visual inspection for wear and corrosion. Wire ropes are subject to regular checks for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with replacement required if more than 10% of the strands are broken over an 8-diameter length. The brake system is crucial for controlling descent speeds, which must not exceed 36 meters per minute according to SOLAS specifications. Additionally, the davit structure must be protected against corrosion, with inspections for damage and paint integrity. Regular maintenance records must be meticulously kept, and only authorized personnel should perform inspections and servicing. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine tests and annual release hook servicing are mandatory, along with a thorough examination every five years.
