Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew members and safety officers rely on davit systems like the one manufactured by Global Davit GmbH to ensure the safe deployment of lifeboats during emergencies at sea. This equipment, designated by the Certificate MEDF00000A6, is certified to meet SOLAS standards for crew evacuation and safety. The system includes comprehensive annual and five-year inspection requirements, such as the yearly functional test of the on-load release gear (OLRG) at 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL), followed by a thorough examination of the locking mechanism for wear, corrosion, and damage. Wire ropes, a critical component, need regular checks for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with replacement advised if more than 10% of a 8D length is compromised. The brake system is crucial for controlling the descent speed, which must not exceed SOLAS specifications, and should be inspected for wear and remote release functionality. Additionally, the davit structure requires vigilant maintenance to prevent corrosion, especially in areas prone to saltwater exposure. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized partners, with lead times ranging from two to six weeks. Regular weekly engine test runs and annual servicing by an approved provider are mandatory to maintain compliance with SOLAS MSC.402(96) and MSC.1/Circ.1205 Rev.1 guidelines.
