A swift and efficient evacuation in an emergency situation

A patented fully-automated MES for low freeboard vessels. The deployment of an ESS Auto system frees up members of the crew to assist in other areas of the evacuation such as marshalling the passengers. A simple-to-use electronic release button situated either on the vessel bridge or at a remote control point is used to deploy the system.

 

  • Once activated, a central bowsing line system removes the need for manual bowsing
  • This hands-free system is fully deployed in approximately one minute
  • Specifically designed for Low Freeboard Vessels
  • Combination of slide + liferaft/ORIL stowed in an innovative space-saving container for safe and speed evacuation for all passengers. ESS slide + Liferaft/ORIL
  • Several models are available for vessels with free board heights from 1.5 to 3.8m
  • Innovative and slim line stowage container
  • Easy deployment: once safety operations are carried out, the automatic deployment and inflation of the system occurs in under 60 seconds

Marine evacuation systems exist for a wide range of vessels, including cruise and ferries, high-speed craft, and offshore vessels, where mass evacuation of trained and untrained people is critical.

The capacity of a marine evacuation system varies from system to system. Survitec’s range can accommodate between 50 and 950 persons. The largest being the Marin Ark 2 system, with a capacity of 948 persons.

Marine evacuation systems (MES) provide a compact, yet rapid-deploying method of evacuation. They are a reliable, quick and safe means of evacuation but take up little space, particularly when compared to traditional lifeboats. Our Marine evacuation systems are intrinsically safe and easy to deploy with very few crew actions required, and varying levels of automation available depending on your preferred solution. Other benefits include their proven performance in heavy weather sea conditions.

Our marine evacuation systems are well designed, robustly tested, exceptionally rugged and compliant with the latest international approval standards, including Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) regulations, and compliance with multiple flags. Before being sold to the market, all of our MES are tested in a heavy weather sea trial to comply with MSC 81 (70) heavy sea conditions.
