LIFE-SAVING EVACUATION SYSTEMS

VIKING evacuation chutes have been proven, during exhaustive trials onshore and at sea under various extremes of climate, and in rough sea conditions, to be exceptionally stable dry shod systems that enable rapid and safe evacuation directly into liferafts. The wide range of evacuation chutes, mini chutes and slides means that VIKING is unique in providing life-saving evacuation systems to suit every type and size of vessel.

The telescopic nature of the reinforced Kevlar evacuation chute ensures a safe descent path, and compensates for ship and sea movements so that evacuation is not obstructed. This life-saving system has the additional advantage of protecting evacuees from environmental hazards (for example Arctic conditions) during evacuation, and is fitted with a protective cover. The life-saving system has an evacuation capacity of 367 persons in 30 minutes.
