Ship Lifeboat, Davit & Winch System Maintenance & Repairs

Lifeboats, davits and winches are critical LSA systems. Defective brakes, sheaves, wires, release gear or control systems can stop a vessel from sailing until remedied—and they attract close attention during surveys and port-state inspections.

Bodursan Marine Services coordinates lifeboat, davit and winch maintenance and repairs in Türkiye through specialised LSA / deck-machinery providers. For hydraulic ram-focused work, see also lifeboat hydraulic ram repair.

Typical scope

Survey and sailing readiness

Work is often driven by annual/periodical surveys, deficiency notices or pre-dock planning. We help sequence attendance with class and yard schedules under dry docking services when a broader repair package is underway. We do not guarantee survey pass outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

Can lifeboat systems be repaired afloat?

Many jobs can be started afloat or alongside if access and weather allow. Some tests or major overhauls need a controlled berth or yard window.

Do you certify LSA equipment yourselves?

Certification and maker service are performed by the authorised/qualified providers we coordinate. Bodursan’s role is agency coordination.
