Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Marine davits are essential safety equipment used for launching lifeboats and ensuring crew evacuation in emergencies. The Rhs.L.23.2/4,1 is a model from Global Davit GmbH, designed to meet stringent SOLAS certification standards for personnel evacuation. This davit is IMO-approved and certified by DNV, ensuring compliance with international maritime safety regulations. It is equipped with features that facilitate crew safety and evacuation, such as an on-load release gear (OLRG) that requires yearly functional testing and a five-year dynamic test. The OLRG must be checked for proper operation, including verifying the locking mechanism and inspecting for corrosion, wear, and damage. Additionally, the davit's wire ropes must be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, and should be replaced if more than 10% of strands are broken over an 8-diameter length. The brake system, including both centrifugal and hold brakes, must be checked for wear and proper braking speed, as per SOLAS standards. The davit structure should be inspected for corrosion and non-destructive testing for any structural cracks. Regular maintenance and compliance with manufacturer instructions are crucial, with spare parts available from Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks. Weekly engine tests and annual release hook servicing by approved service providers are mandatory, as well as a thorough examination every five years.
