Rescue Boat Davit is a vital life-saving appliance designed for the safe launching, recovery, and storage of rescue boats during emergency and routine operations. It is widely used on commercial vessels, offshore platforms, passenger ships, tankers, and special-purpose ships, ensuring rapid response and reliable performance in critical situations.
Rescue boat davits are typically designed as slewing or luffing davit systems and are powered by electric, hydraulic, or electro-hydraulic drive units. The davit structure is engineered to safely handle dynamic loads during launching and recovery, even under adverse weather and sea conditions. Controlled lowering and hoisting ensure smooth and stable boat handling with minimal risk to crew and equipment.
Manufactured from high-strength structural steel and protected with marine-grade corrosion-resistant coatings, rescue boat davits are designed for long-term operation in harsh marine environments. Safety systems include automatic brakes, overload protection, emergency stop functions, manual recovery capability, and fail-safe mechanisms to ensure compliance with strict life-saving regulations.
Modern rescue boat davits are designed for single-person operation and can be integrated with remote control systems for enhanced safety and efficiency. Optional features such as shock-absorbing devices, automatic release hooks, and redundancy systems further improve operational reliability during emergency deployment.
Rescue boat davits are designed and manufactured in accordance with SOLAS, LSA Code, IMO resolutions, and classification society requirements such as DNV, ABS, LR, BV, and CE directives, ensuring full compliance with international maritime safety standards.
