Platform Davit – Space-Saving, Heavy-Duty Launching System by CMEC FJCN

The Platform Davit by CMEC FJCN is a specialized launching appliance developed for lifeboats and rescue boats stationed on fixed offshore installations, jack-up rigs, and marine platforms. It delivers exceptional performance in emergency lifeboat deployment, offering a compact design that conserves deck space while supporting reliable, gravity-assisted launching.

This davit system is permanently installed on the edge of a platform and designed to swing the lifeboat outboard before lowering it directly into the sea via a gravity or hydraulic-assisted winch. It provides a stable, durable structure that can endure harsh offshore conditions, including high humidity, salt spray, wind loads, and temperature extremes.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Compact and fixed installation – optimized for offshore platforms

• Gravity or hydraulic winch system – controlled and safe boat lowering

• Custom slewing arm or stationary frame depending on application

• Integrated winch and rope drum for smooth hoisting and retrieval

• Manual operation option – ensures functionality during power loss

• Sturdy support frame with corrosion-resistant marine-grade coating

• Suitable for all types of lifeboats and rescue boats
