Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Annual inspections and regular maintenance are critical for ensuring the safe operation of crew evacuation davits. For instance, the W10L.34.01 model by Global Davit GmbH requires yearly functional testing of the On-Load-Release-Gear (OLRG) with a load 1.1 times the stated SWL, followed by checking the lock for dryness and wear. The wire ropes must also be inspected annually for kinks, corrosion, and any fraying; replacements are necessary if over 10% of the length shows signs of deterioration. Bremse components should be checked for wear on centrifugal and holding brakes, ensuring smooth operation without blockages due to neglect. Structural corrosion is another key concern, especially in zinc-coated parts with stainless steel fastenings, where non-destructive testing (NDT) must be conducted regularly to detect cracks. Comprehensive servicing by authorized personnel ensures compliance with SOLAS regulations and maintains the equipment's reliability throughout its operational life.
