Life Saving Equipment Davits – General Introduction 

Life Saving Equipment Davits are critical marine handling systems designed to safely launch, recover, and secure lifesaving appliances such as lifeboats, rescue boats, and life rafts. They play a vital role in ensuring rapid and reliable evacuation during emergency situations at sea.

These davits are engineered in compliance with international maritime regulations such as SOLAS, IMO, and classification society rules. Depending on vessel type and operational needs, they can be supplied in various configurations including gravity davits, slewing davits, pivot davits, and free-fall related handling systems.

Life Saving Equipment Davits are typically manufactured from high-strength marine-grade steel or aluminum and protected with advanced corrosion-resistant coatings, ensuring long service life in harsh marine environments. They may be operated manually, electrically, or hydraulically, and are designed for smooth, controlled operation even under adverse sea conditions.

Key Features:

• Safe launching and recovery of lifeboats and rescue boats

• Compliance with international maritime safety standards

• Robust structure for offshore and marine environments

• Simple, reliable, and low-maintenance design

• Suitable for commercial vessels, offshore platforms, and special-purpose ships

Life Saving Equipment Davits are an essential component of any vessel’s safety system, providing confidence, reliability, and protection for crew and passengers when it matters most.
