Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Designed to ensure safe crew evacuation and adherence to SOLAS regulations, the FFA 8.1 C-21 is a robust evacuation craft that leverages durable materials and reliable mechanisms. Certified by DNV, this vessel is IMO approved, ensuring compliance with international maritime safety standards. The FFA 8.1 C-21 has a capacity for persons as per SOLAS certification, making it an essential component of crew safety on board ships. Regular maintenance is critical, particularly for the release hook mechanism, which can suffer from corrosion or blockage, leading to critical safety issues. Additionally, the diesel engine must be tested weekly for a minimum of five minutes to prevent start-up failures. The GRP hull requires inspection at docking to address any osmotic blister formation due to prolonged water contact. Annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider as per SOLAS MSC.402(96) and a thorough examination every five years are also imperative. Spare parts can be obtained from Hatecke GmbH or authorised distribution partners with a lead time of 2-6 weeks.
