Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
This davit system is commonly found on ships and is used for crew evacuation and safety, ensuring that lifeboats can be safely deployed in emergencies. Certified according to SOLAS regulations, the Rhs.L.S. 11/3,6-40/3,0 model has a capacity to accommodate a specific number of persons as per SOLAS standards, making it a crucial safety feature for maritime vessels. The system is IMO-approved and certified by DNV, providing peace of mind for ship operators and passengers alike. Routine maintenance and inspections are critical to ensure the davit operates correctly, including annual functional testing of the on-load-release gear (OLRG) at 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL), followed by a thorough inspection for corrosion or wear. Wire ropes must be checked for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with any affected sections requiring immediate replacement. The brake system must also be inspected for wear and tested for proper deceleration rates, adhering to SOLAS guidelines. Additionally, the davit structure should be regularly examined for signs of corrosion, especially in zinc-coated areas and stainless steel fasteners, to prevent structural integrity issues. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine tests and annual release hook servicing by approved service providers are required to maintain compliance with SOLAS regulations. A comprehensive five-year inspection is also necessary to ensure the continued reliability and safety of the davit system.
