Slewing Rescue Boat and Life Raft Davit

Slewing Rescue Boat and Life Raft Davit is a combined single arm davit, designed to simultaneously carry, launch and recover both rescue boat and life raft.

  • Hydraulic or Manual drive slewing
  • Gravity lowering and Electirc lifeting
  • Equipped with life raft hook
  • Optional with electric winch or hydraulic winch when used as crane
  • MED or CCS certificate

This combined single arm davit replaces separate rescue boat davit + independent life raft davit, reducing deck occupation, simplifying piping and control layout, lowering ship construction cost.

Description

Introduction:

This slewing rescue boat and life raft davit complies with SOLAS and IMO LSA code. It adopts a single rotary jib dual-purpose structure, capable of storing, launching and recovering both rescue boat and life raft on one set of equipment, which effectively saves ship deck space.
