Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Seafarers rely on reliable crew evacuation equipment in case of emergency. Hatecke GmbH offers the FFA7.4C, a lifeboat designed for crew evacuation and safety. This model is IMO approved, as verified by DNV, with model number 4530016 HH. The FFA7.4C has a passenger capacity defined by SOLAS certification. To ensure optimal performance and reliability, Hatecke recommends weekly engine test runs of at least 5 minutes and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider in accordance with SOLAS MSC.402(96). The GRP hull should be inspected during each docking period, with a thorough examination every five years. Spare parts are available through Hatecke GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with lead times typically ranging from 2 to 6 weeks. Potential issues to be aware of include corrosion or blockage of the release hook mechanism, diesel engine start failures due to infrequent testing, osmotic blistering of the GRP hull from prolonged water contact, failure of the air supply system valve, and aging of safety harnesses and straps caused by UV exposure and weathering.
