Services

At Vestdavit, we engineer our davits for durability, ease of maintenance, and operational reliability. Due to the stringent SOLAR yearly and five-yearly requirement, our global service network offers both annual and five-year inspections to ensure your davit stays in peak condition. Involving an OEM like Vestdavit in these checks is essential for system integrity and compliance.

Vestdavit’s technicians bring deep system knowledge, certified parts, and the latest technical updates. This ensures potential issues are properly identified and resolved before they become critical. OEM involvement helps maintain classification compliance and significantly extends your system’s lifespan.
Trust the experts to keep your equipment mission-ready.

The Vestdavit Academy delivers specialized training programs for operators and maintenance personnel to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable use of our systems. These courses are designed to optimize performance and maintain peak operational readiness, with training available at our Bergen headquarters, our production facility in Poland, or directly onboard vessels either in port or at sea delivered by Vestdavit’s experienced engineers. Each course concludes with a certification valid for three years, reinforcing long-term competence and compliance. We offer a convenient online refresher course that allows previously certified personnel to re-certify without travel.

Vestdavit’s long-term service agreements are designed to provide clients with peace of mind and operational assurance through consistent, expert support. These agreements offer a structured approach to system upkeep, including scheduled maintenance, annual and five-year inspections, and prompt access to skilled Vestdavit engineers or certified local agents. By ensuring the use of genuine spare parts and experienced service personnel, the agreements help extend the lifespan of equipment, reduce the risk of unexpected downtime, and maintain compliance with safety standards.

Vestdavit provides comprehensive support that extends far beyond the initial delivery of equipment. Our global service network is positioned to offer rapid response and expert assistance wherever our systems are in use. This includes everything from on-site troubleshooting and emergency repairs to planned maintenance and system upgrades. With strategically located service hubs and trained local agents, Vestdavit ensures that customers receive consistent, high-quality support regardless of their location or operational environment.

Vestdavit offers expert repair and maintenance services designed to keep davit systems in optimal working condition throughout their lifecycle. Our team of highly trained engineers and certified local partners is equipped to perform everything from routine maintenance to complex repairs, both on board and at shore facilities. Whether responding to wear and tear, environmental exposure, or unexpected issues, Vestdavit ensures that repairs are carried out efficiently, using original parts and to the highest technical standards to maintain system reliability and safety.

Vestdavit offers tailored upgrade and modification services to ensure that existing davit systems remain aligned with evolving operational needs and regulatory requirements. Whether it’s adapting older systems to handle new boat types, enhancing safety features, or integrating updated control technologies, our experienced engineers work closely with clients to assess, plan, and implement effective solutions. These upgrades not only extend the lifespan of the davit systems but also improve performance, reliability, and compliance with modern standards such as those outlined in SOLAS or DNV-ST-0498.

Modifications can range from structural reinforcements and new winch integrations to control system retrofits and the addition of advanced features like shock absorbers or constant tension. Each modification is engineered with precision and carried out under strict quality controls, ensuring minimal disruption to vessel operations.
