A davit is the deck equipment that lowers a boat to the water and hoists it back on board. FERRI davits are an essential element in rescue, lifesaving and emergency operations, where every second counts. Our equipment, certified to international SOLAS standards, enables the launch and recovery of rescue craft, liferafts or tender boats with total reliability in any sea condition. We offer swing-out, radial and rapid-intervention versions, all designed to operate effectively even in heavy seas or extreme environments such as Arctic temperatures.
The use of advanced technologies such as shock-absorbing systems, constant tension and anti-roll protection provides an additional layer of safety, ensuring stable and controlled manoeuvres at all times. Complementing this is a comprehensive maintenance, inspection and training service that extends the service life of the equipment and maintains its safety standards over time.
The confidence placed in us by more than 150 vessels worldwide confirms FERRI as a strategic partner in critical operations where reliability leaves no room for compromise.
Naval forces need equipment that allows them to respond to emergencies with complete agility under any circumstances. Our military davits provide a complete, robust solution, adaptable to the strict space and configuration constraints of warships and support vessels.
Designed for tactical rescue operations and load handling in offshore environments, the range is led by our rapid-deployment swing-out models and automated stern ramps. These solutions give military crews immediate and safe operability, even in the most critical scenarios and under the most extreme service conditions.
In the megayacht sector, passenger safety must go hand in hand with flawless design. At FERRI we design high-end rescue systems, fully customized to suit the operating environment and the type of vessel.
Our davits for lifeboats, liferafts and fast rescue craft stand out for their maximum reliability and low maintenance. Particularly noteworthy are our bespoke stern ramp solutions, designed to allow an extremely efficient, discreet and safe launch and recovery manoeuvre for crew and guests, without altering the yacht’s aesthetic lines.
