Ship marine evacuation system MEC

Most efficient, easy-to-use, flexible and cost-effective Marine Evacuation System available to evacuate passengers and crew with the utmost safety in the shortest possible time (gravity-launch system). How It Works - Fabric descent chute with inflatable platform stored in a compact housing either on the evacuation deck (inside or outside the vessel) or unobtrusively on the deck above (see the figures and pictures below) - Under emergency situation, a crew-member releases the Marine evacuation chute (MEC) by pulling handle. The chute and platform fall to the water and the platform automatically inflates - Meanwhile, the liferafts are launched from their racking system, inflated and attached to the platform - Passengers enter the chute by way of the housing and safely descend to the platform - They are then dry-transferred to the liferafts with the rescue boats standing by to assist - Clear benefits: - Extremely easy to use * Maximum efficiency with minimum effort * Extensive crew training - Safety built in * Fully adjustable components for all conditions * Zig-zag design of the chute for the safe descent of passengers * Protective cover and fender system to guard passengers against environmental hazards * Minimum space on deck: compact chute housing + liferafts tidily stored on rack - - Flexibility is key * Lightweight, compact and easily mounted system to fit on all vessel designs * Easy transfer from vessel to vessel - The best solution for the least money * Initial investment + installation, maintenance and service cost < other systems
