The NED-DECK MARINE free-fall lifeboat davits of the FFH series have been designed for long time operation under adverse and extreme circumstances in a highly corrosive marine environment.

The FFH davit is a deck to wall mounted davit, placed at the stern of the ship, and consists of a launch ramp, davit arm (A-frame), winch and hydraulic unit.

The system is suitable for safe and efficient launching of a fully manned free-fall lifeboat against unfavourable conditions of trim of up to 10 degrees and a list of up to 20 degrees either way.

The launch ramp has been provided with sliding pads, made of high density polyethylene, taking care after a smooth acceleration of the boat.

In those cases where free-fall launch appears to be unpractical or unsafe, the system has also been provided with a secondary means to launch the lifeboat by falls against unfavourable conditions of trim of up to 2 degrees and a list of up to 5 degrees either way.

Recovery of the lifeboat with its launching crew (4 persons) can be realised by using the hydraulic driven winch. For easy positioning of the lifeboat back onto its launch ramp, the davit arm and launch ramp have been provided with boat guidings to prevent damage to the lifeboat.

To secure the boat in stowed position, the sliding ramp has been provided with an adequate locking device with float free provisions.

In order to reduce maintenance to a minimum, all shafts and pins are made of stainless steel and provided with self-lubricated bushings.

The FFH series meets the latest IMO/SOLAS requirements and LSA Code as well as the European Council Directive 96/98 EC on Marine Equipment (M.E.D.).
