Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Regular maintenance and adherence to stringent safety standards are crucial for ensuring the reliability of crew evacuation systems. Global Davit GmbH’s Certificate MEDF00000A7 is a testament to this commitment. This model is designed for medium-capacity crew evacuation and safety, adhering to SOLAS certification requirements. To maintain its operational integrity, the On-Load-Release-Gear (OLRG) must undergo an annual functional test with 1.1 times the Safe Working Load (SWL), followed by a five-year dynamic test as per SOLAS III / MSC.402(96). The wire ropes should be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with replacement recommended if more than 10% of wires are damaged over an 8d length. Regular checks on the brake system include assessing wear on the brake lining and ensuring the lowering speed complies with SOLAS standards (S=0.4+0.02H, up to approximately 36 meters per minute). The davit structure should be inspected for corrosion, particularly in galvanized areas and stainless steel fittings. Compliance with maintenance schedules is essential, including weekly engine test runs, annual servicing of the release hooks by approved providers, and a thorough examination every five years. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with lead times ranging from 2 to 6 weeks. Certificate MEDF00000A7 ensures that all these maintenance procedures are meticulously followed to guarantee safety and reliability.
