STENA HSS - THE COMING OF AGE FOR MARINE EVACUATION SYSTEMS

The paper outlines a new type of slide system for marine evacuation from high speed ferries. Passengers are fed directly from the embarkation point into a large capacity liferaft via an inflatable slide, enabling the crew to evacuate 100 persons from a vessel in five minutes. The system can be operated by a single crew member, either at the embarkation point or remotely from the wheelhouse.
