Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
The W08E.45.02 davit system is designed to meet SOLAS certification standards for crew evacuation and safety, ensuring reliable operation in emergency scenarios. It is imo-approved and listed in the DNV-approval-finder database. The system is equipped with an on-load release gear (OLRG) that undergoes an annual functional test at 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL), followed by a visual inspection for corrosion and wear. Additionally, the davit's wire ropes are subject to regular inspection for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, requiring replacement if more than 10% of the wires are broken over an 8D length. The brake system, including both centrifugal and holding brakes, must be checked for brake lining wear and proper functioning of the remote release mechanism. Structural corrosion is monitored, particularly for zinc-coated structures and stainless steel fasteners, with non-destructive testing (NDT) conducted on load-bearing structures. Compliance with maintenance schedules, including weekly engine tests and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider, is critical. Five-year thorough examinations are also required, along with regular inspections of the GRP hull at docking. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks.
