Lifeboat Launching Systems

Lifeboat launching systems are mechanisms designed to quickly and safely deploy lifeboats from a ship in emergencies. These systems ensure that lifeboats can be launched efficiently, even in challenging sea conditions. They typically include davits, which are crane-like structures that support the lifeboat, and winches that control the descent. The aim is to mitigate risk to passengers and crew by ensuring that lifeboats are readily accessible and can be deployed in moments of crisis, such as sinking or fire, ultimately providing a means of evacuation and safety.
