Painter Booms
Vestdavit’s painter booms serve as an essential complementary system to its davit solutions, ensuring stability and control during boat launch and recovery operations. These systems are specifically designed to maintain the longitudinal position of a deployed craft in relation to the mother vessel, preventing excessive movement that could compromise safety. By securing the craft in a fixed position during operations, painter booms minimize risk, improve handling precision, and enhance crew safety. This feature is particularly critical in dynamic maritime environments where the vessel is moving or operating in rough sea conditions.
One of the key advantages of Vestdavit’s painter boom systems is their ability to facilitate launch and recovery operations while the mother vessel is underway. In high-tempo naval, coast guard, and offshore operations, stopping or slowing down a vessel may not always be feasible. Painter booms allow for safe and controlled launch and recovery of Fast Rescue Crafts (FRCs), Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs), and other mission critical small boats without requiring the ship to come to a complete halt. Vestdavit customizes painter boom solutions to meet the specific requirements of each project, ensuring that they are integrated seamlessly with the davit systems and vessel design. Each system is built to withstand harsh maritime conditions, complying with the latest industry and safety standards. By combining innovative engineering, durability, and adaptability, Vestdavit ensures that its painter booms provide superior performance and reliability, making them an indispensable asset for vessel operators worldwide.
Vestdavit Painter boom systems fall into two main categories: Telescopic Painter Booms (PBT) and Hinged Painter Booms (PBH).
