🔍 Key Concepts

• Types of lifeboat davits used on modern ocean‑going merchant ships • How gravity davits operate compared to older styles • Why SOLAS and modern lifeboat drills favor certain davit systems

💭 Think About

• Which davit type allows a lifeboat to be launched quickly by a small crew, even if the ship has a heavy list? • Think about which system is simplest and most reliable in bad weather and emergencies on large merchant vessels. • Which of these davit types do you most often see on photos or videos of large container ships, tankers, or bulk carriers?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any davit types you know are older, manually swung-out designs used mainly on smaller or older vessels. • Ask yourself which design is standard under modern SOLAS lifeboat arrangements on big ships. • Confirm which type allows the boat to move from stowed to launching position primarily under its own weight rather than by muscle power or complex mechanisms.
