• Falls tensioning
• Shock absorbers
• RIB docking frames
• Integrated boat stowage
• Davit head lighting
• Integrated diagnostic / system monitoring.

The PAP Series from Vestdavit represents a high-performance solution for ensuring stable and secure launch and recovery of fast rescue craft, boats, and other valuable assets, thanks to its advanced anti-pendulation system.

Central to this series is the fully integrated docking head, which is engineered with three-dimensional movement compensation. This feature minimizes pendulation swaying caused by waves and motion during both outboard and inboard manoeuvres, providing unmatched stability for precise and controlled handling. With reliability proven in both military and commercial applications, the PAP Series has become a trusted choice for demanding maritime operations. Its compatibility with Vestdavit’s Painter Boom systems enhances its functionality by enabling improved guidance and alignment during deployment and retrieval, even in challenging sea conditions. This integrated setup optimizes safety and efficiency, ensuring that vessels remain properly aligned, secured, and protected throughout their operational use.

The PAPH Series by Vestdavit is an advanced anti-pendulation davit system engineered to meet the demands of high stability, precision operations even in confined spaces.

This sophisticated series is equipped with an integrated docking head and a unique set of additional hinges, which collectively allow for a remarkable range of movement beyond that of standard davits. This extensive movement capacity makes the PAPH Series particularly well-suited for vessels with limited deck or structural space, where manoeuvrability is crucial. Vestdavit’s PAPH Series actively manages pendulation and collision control, enabling precise positioning of the deployed craft. This intelligent control system is particularly beneficial in rough sea conditions, where it safeguards both crew and vessel during launch and recovery operations by optimizing movement in real time. The PAPH Series reflects Vestdavit’s commitment to delivering innovative, space-efficient solutions without compromising on reliability, safety, or operational performance.

The Vestdavit PLA series is a fully hydraulically operated, single point aluminium A-frame davit designed to provide efficient, reliable, and safe boat handling operations across a variety of maritime applications.

Also, the compact footprint of the A-frame design ensures efficient use of deck space, making it a suitable choice for both small and large vessels that require reliable launch and recovery systems without compromising valuable deck area. The PLA davit is constructed from high grade aluminium, making it lightweight yet highly durable. The use of aluminium significantly reduces the overall weight of the davit compared to traditional steel constructions, making it an ideal choice for weight sensitive vessels such as patrol boats, navy ships, and offshore support vessels. The PLA series is fully hydraulically operated, ensuring precise and controlled lifting, lowering, and launching of boats. This system provides consistent and smooth movements, reducing stress on both the davit and the vessel. The hydraulic mechanism allows for rapid deployment and recovery, which is crucial in emergency situations, military operations, and offshore activities where time is of the essence.

The PLAR Series is a single point aluminum davit that delivers weight savings of 30 % over an equivalent steel system, thereby reducing upper deck weight on the platform. The system is highly customizable.

Recent insights highlight that the longstanding preference for aluminium davits among navies, coast guards, and fast ferry operators is now extending into new markets, driven by the material’s weight advantages over traditional steel. Aluminium davits are increasingly appealing to a broader range of vessel owners as a structural alternative, offering benefits that support faster, more agile craft. The lighter aluminium structure has been selected by operators of fast patrol boats, such as the Royal Australian Navy’s Cape Class vessels, the Royal New Zealand Navy, the Danish Navy, the Swedish Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard, and more. Recently, security-focused authorities in the Middle East and South Asia have also turned to aluminium davits for fast-response applications within the 850–7,000 kg safe working load range provided by Vestdavit.
