Survietc Group Unveils its
latest Technological Advancement in Marine Evacuation Systems |
During SMM 2012, visitors to the
Survitec Group stand will have the first opportunity to observe
the new ‘remote liferaft launch’ feature for the world-leading
SurvitecZodiac MIS (Medium Inflatable Slide) Escape Slide
System.
On display in Hall B1.OG on Stand 600, the innovative feature of
the new SurvitecZodiac system enables a second liferaft to be
remotely launched after the double track escape slide has been
deployed and its first 150 person liferaft has been
automatically inflated. By pulling a painter line on the ship,
the new development allows the second liferaft to be deployed.
Previously it was necessary for a crew member to descend into
the first liferaft, from where the second could be inflated.
The development of a remote inflation capability now eliminates
the need for any crew to leave the ship ahead of passengers and
permits the almost immediate deployment of a second liferaft as
soon as the first has been activated. This is expected to save
valuable seconds of vessel evacuation time for passengers and
crew.
The SurvitecZodiac range of Marine Evacuation Systems is already
at the forefront of escape slide performance, with this
particular Escape Slide System offering high speed evacuation of
731 passengers in 30 minutes, when used with SurvitecZodiac
Throw Over 150 person canopy liferafts. When used with
SurvitecZodiac Open Reversible Inflatable 151 person open
liferafts, 397 passengers can escape in 17 min 40 sec.
All liferafts used by the new system are of the SurvitecZodiac
Aspirator type and weighing in at just 490kg, makes a
significant, overall weight reduction possible when compared to
a regular Throw Over, Self Righting 150 person liferaft weight
of 840kg. This demonstrates the system’s suitability for use on
high speed craft.
GRP containers allow for simple storage of the liferafts and the
inflatable slide is folded and rolled around it on tilting
deployment cradle, ensuring the SurvitecZodiac system is
suitable for a wide range of vessels including high speed craft
governed by the HSC Code, small passenger vessels operating in
national waters, military vessels and RO-RO ferries on short
international voyages.
Come and find out more about Survitec Group at SMM Hamburg 2012.
