Marine Evacuation Systems (MES)
Slide-based MES delivering passengers and crew dry-shod directly into large capacity liferafts, with no winches or hydraulics.
Description
The LSA Marine Evacuation System delivers passengers and crew dry-shod, directly into large capacity liferafts via an inclined evacuation slide. The design was conceived in 1992 and is described as the only approved self-supporting, independent system that evacuates directly into liferafts without winches or complicated hydraulics. In acceptance trials it evacuated 100 passengers in less than 4 minutes.
Key features
- Inflatable inclined evacuation slide
- Large capacity inflatable liferaft, canopied or open reversible
- Lightweight stowage cradle in marine grade aluminium
- Deployed by one crew member, remotely from the bridge or locally, with no connection to ship's power
- Deck footprint of only 4 m2 on super yachts, with the option to conceal the unit behind a flush exterior door
Applications
Passenger ferries, high-speed craft and cruise ships; naval vessels, tested to evacuate up to 600 personnel in less than 30 minutes per MES station; and super yachts.
