— Product Description —
Single Chute Vertical Marine Evacuation System
Single Chute Vertical Marine evacuation system is an appliance for the rapid transfer of persons from the embarkation deck of a ship to a floating survival Life raft.
A Marine Evacuation System (MES), consisting of a slide or chute where passengers can evacuate straight into Inflation Platform life rafts, can often be found on passenger ships and modern high-speed crafts because of its short evacuation times.
Evacuation Chute is stowed in a stainless steel storage container on the deck. When releasing the handle, the Escape chute will be formed into the Water automatically.
— Evacuation —
MES has gained popularity over the past few decades due to its mass evacuation ability. It is one of the only life-saving appliances (LSA) that can evacuate over 700 people in 30 minutes. It is a well-tested technology gaining vast popularity in the industry due to its ship safety-enhancing capabilities in emergency situations.
It has been tested in Beaufort Sea State 6 winds and 3, wave heights and the slide prototype has been tested in accordance with EU Directive of Marine Equipment 96/98/EC and IMO Resolution A689(17) as amended.
MES requires only one or two staff members to deploy. The chute automatically falls into the water where a life raft starts to inflate; the whole process takes approximately 90 seconds, with some systems claiming to fully inflate within one minute.
Once the lifeboat has been inflated, people are asked to jump down through the air-cushioned chutes into the rafts, which can hold more than 700 people.
— Component —
- Controls – used to initiate the device in an emergency situation.
- Stowage box – contains essentials for the evacuation, including the chute and the fixed appliances, such as seats, rails, etc. Composed of marine grade aluminum along with inflation cylinders, usually kept on the deck taking as little as 4 m 2 of storage space. It is considered to be lightweight, weighing around 685 kg including the life rafts stored inside.
- Chute or Slide – attached to the ship and life rafts, it is stored in the stowage box.Inflatable slides are composed of polyurethane coated nylon fabrics making it sturdy. It ranges up to 13.6 m in height, including single and double evacuation slides depending on the vessels preference.
- Rafts – are floatable boats used in an emergency event. Depending on the MES system, there are usually 1-4 rafts in the stowage box.
- Bowsing winch – in an electric system that is used to transport the raft from the ship to the side of the ship.
