Ship marine evacuation system VEDC

The VEDC system is certified by DNV in accordance with SOLAS/MED requirements and relevant flag state approvals. Activated - the chute is pulled out of the box and the chute-liferaft will automatically pull the chute into the liferaft when inflating. Embarkation heights between 8.9 and 16.8 meters above waterline Ability to evacuate 908 persons within 30 minutes Requires minimum service handling Available with either A or B SOLAS emergency pack Easy to deploy, even under extreme conditions Available with high capacity of two 153 person liferaft The VIKING Evacuation Dual Chute VEDC, is VIKING's highest capacity chute system to date and is combined with 153 person high capacity liferafts for safe, rapid evacuation for larger passenger vessels. This unique design combines the highest evacuation capacity with discreet, compact and self-contained design for maximum safety an relatively little deck disruption. Each VEDC system contains two 153 person liferafts with either A or B SOLAS emergency pack. Capacity can be increased to suit the exact ship requirement with additional drop liferafts. Easy to deploy, even under extreme conditions The bottle filled with nitrogen activates a pneumatic/hydraulic cylinder, which pushes out the sledge with the liferaft containers. By the movement of the sledge the chute box is tilted and the chute is pulled out of the chute box. When the sledge is waterborne the sledge sinks away and pulls the inflation lines for the liferafts. The “chute-liferaft” will automatically pull the chute into the liferaft when inflating.
