Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
The Rhp.12/3,1 davit system from Global Davit GmbH is designed to meet international safety standards for crew evacuation and rescue operations at sea. Certified under SOLAS regulations, this model ensures reliable operation through its robust construction and adherence to IMO and DNV approval criteria. The davit is equipped with On-Load-Release Gear (OLRG) requiring a yearly functional test at 1.1 times the Safe Working Load (SWL) and a five-year dynamic test, ensuring mechanical integrity. Wire ropes are critical components, subject to regular inspections for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with replacement mandated if more than 10% of strands are compromised over an 8D length. Brakes must be checked for wear and proper operation, with remote release function verified and maintained to prevent unintended locking due to neglect. Additionally, the davit's structural integrity, particularly concerning corrosion, is vital for long-term reliability, necessitating non-destructive testing for cracks and ensuring all maintenance is logged and performed by authorized personnel. Regular servicing and inspections, including a weekly engine test run and annual release hook servicing, are essential for compliance and safety.
