Vessels
Marine Vessels have special needs, including the requirements to achieve effective evacuation escape and rescue in a variety of scenarios. In particular, the following issues must be addressed:
- Listing – causing conventionally mounted lifeboats and MES to become inoperative.
- Smoke – affecting helicopter operations.
- Entrapment – at the bow end for entry into liferafts and the bridge wings or in the event of the main means of escape being rendered inoperative.
- Boat crew – escape facility for last crew member at boat stations.
Advantages of Safeland over conventional means:
- Cost – the Safeland (if properly maintained and recertified) need only be purchased once within the lifetime of an asset.
- Six monthly inspections – Safeland requires to be inspected only once every 5 years within a recognised inspection scheme.
- Multi-user system, people may have to wait their turn – Safeland is one man, one use, with no need to wait for others.
- Listing conditions – Safeland is not affected by the vessel listing.
- Fixed system – Safeland is portable allowing user to choose best time and position to make their escape.
- Mechanical system – Safeland is a non-mechanical system. It has no moving parts.
- Once user starts to descend they can't stop – Safeland allows the user to stop their descent at any time to avoid hazards.
