Survitec Group's new escape system is currently undergoing trials and promises to address the twin challenges of safe, rapid evacuation for passengers abandoning ship and the need to escape safely away from the stricken vessel as quickly as possible.
Survitec's prototype, which has numerous levels of patent protection, has been developed following close dialogue with world flag and classification societies, ship yards, safety consultants as well as ship owners and operators.
Explained Richard McCormick, Head of Sales at Survitec: "This is a revolutionary product that is nothing like our existing MES products or conventional hard shell lifeboats. We believe it is a complete game changer for cruise ship builders and operators because of its footprint, evacuation configurations and advanced propulsion capabilities. It is a truly flexible solution that offers numerous operational benefits."
