Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
This maritime equipment falls under the category of crew evacuation and safety systems. The Global Davit GmbH model Rhs.L.15,2/6,0 is certified according to SOLAS standards and approved by DNV, ensuring compliance with international maritime regulations. The davit's capacity is designed to meet the SOLAS certification requirements for personnel evacuation. Maintenance and inspection of the equipment should adhere to IMCA, Gard, and SOLAS MSC.1-Circ.1205 guidelines. Common issues include the On-Load-Release Gear (OLRG), which requires annual functional testing and a five-year dynamic test. Wire ropes should be checked for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with replacements following the manufacturer's recommended intervals. The brake system must be inspected for wear on the brake lining and checked for proper remote release functionality. Structural corrosion should be monitored, especially in zinc-coated structures and stainless steel fastenings, to prevent issues like those seen in the RRS Sir David Attenborough incident in 2021. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Regular maintenance includes weekly engine test runs and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider. A thorough examination is required every five years, along with a GRP hull inspection during docking.
