Vestdavit
Designs, supplies, and supports tailor-made launch and recovery systems for manned and unmanned craft.
Vestdavit designs, supplies, and supports tailor-made launch and recovery solutions for manned and unmanned craft operating in difficult sea conditions. Its core business is the development and manufacture of davit systems and related boat-handling equipment used to launch and recover boats, liferafts, and other craft safely and efficiently from vessels at sea. Its products are built for demanding maritime environments and suit naval, coast guard, offshore, commercial, search and rescue, and other specialized operations. Vestdavit serves a broad set of markets, including navy and coast guard, governmental R&D, offshore wind and E&P, seismic survey and cable layers, commercial shipping, fishery, ferry, scientific, and special projects. Across those segments, its systems support missions such as rescue operations, inspections, boarding, border surveillance, crew transfer, deployment of survey equipment, and handling of daughter craft and workboats. A major part of the offering is a portfolio of launch and recovery systems covering single point, dual point, telescopic, and other specialized davit arrangements. These systems are engineered for reliability, safety, and precision in harsh marine conditions, with features such as anti-pendulation control, computer-assisted operation, dual-fall technology, and hydraulic operation. Vestdavit provides complementary equipment such as painter booms, mission bay handling systems, and slipway or stern ramp systems, extending its scope beyond standard davits into broader boat-handling and launch-and-recovery solutions. It designs and manufactures tailor-made systems and integrates advanced control and safety technologies to meet particular customer requirements. Beyond hardware, Vestdavit offers engineering and lifecycle support services: design competence, simulation, integration support, shock, magnetic, and fatigue analysis, and compliance-related work such as NORSOK and DNV-0498-related capabilities and polar-environment adaptations. It supplies spare parts, inspections, training, service agreements, support, repair and maintenance, commissioning, and upgrades and modifications. Taken together, Vestdavit works as a full-lifecycle supplier for maritime boat-handling systems, combining product design, manufacturing, technical consulting, and ongoing service support for operators that need safe and dependable handling of boats and unmanned craft at sea.
