Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and safety of this crew evacuation and safety equipment. Designed for dependable operation, the Hatecke FFA6,5C boasts an IMO approval, certified by DNV under model number 4233716 HH. This certification highlights its commitment to maritime safety standards. Potential common failures include corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism, a critical safety concern, as well as diesel engine start failures due to infrequent testing. Other potential issues include osmotically induced blistering in the GRP hull, malfunctioning air supply system valves, and aging safety harnesses due to UV exposure and weathering. To maintain peak condition, the FFA6,5C requires weekly engine test runs, annual servicing of the release hook by a certified provider, and a thorough examination every five years. Spare parts are available through Hatecke GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks.
