Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
This lifeboat is part of the crew evacuation and safety equipment category. Manufactured by Hatecke GmbH, the FFB 7,4 C model is SOLAS-approved and includes a diesel engine designed for crew evacuation. It meets international standards as certified by DNV-Approval Finder under model number 1113014 HH. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure safe operation; this includes weekly engine test runs, annual servicing of the release hook mechanism, and inspections of the GRP hull at docking intervals. Common issues include corrosion or blockage in the release hook mechanism, diesel engine start failure due to lack of regular testing, osmotic blistering of the GFK (Glass Reinforced Polyester) hull, failure of the air supply system's ventilators, and aging of safety harnesses exposed to UV light. Spare parts can be obtained from Hatecke GmbH or authorized partners with a typical lead time of 2-6 weeks. A five-year thorough examination is also recommended for comprehensive maintenance.
