Remote Launch Feature Speeds Up Deployment SurvitecZodiac Medium Inflatable Slides (MIS) now have an additional & highly innovative feature allowing remote launch. This new system enables a second liferaft to be remotely launched after the double track escape slide has been deployed and its first 151 person ORIL (Open Reversible Inflatable Liferaft) has been inflated. By pulling a painter line on the ship, the second ORIL can be deployed without delay. Previously it was necessary for a crew member to descend into the first ORIL, from where the second could be inflated. However this new development eliminates the need for any crew to leave the ship ahead of passengers and permits the almost immediate deployment of a second ORIL as soon as the first has been activated. This is expected to save valuable seconds of vessel evacuation time for passengers and crew.

SurvitecZodiac Small Inflatable Slide Systems (SIS) These Low Free-Board Systems are ideal for evacuating vessels within 1.5 to 3.8 metres. Mini Slides & Liferafts / ORIL Stowed near to the evacuation point, liferafts / ORIL are launched remotely, inflated and bowsed into position using either manual or automatic electric winches. A mini slide is then inflated and deployed into the liferaft / ORIL. Evacuation Slide Systems The ESS System is a stowage cassette which is integrated into the ship’s bulwark or side rails. Within the cassette is a large capacity liferaft and a mini slide. When deployment is initiated the liferaft inflates and the mini slide is automatically inflated into the liferaft. Once inflated, the liferaft is bowsed to the ships side and is then ready for the evacuation to commence. Automatic Escape Slide Systems A patented, fully automated ESS. The deployment of an ESS Auto frees up members of the crew to assist in other areas of the evacuation, such as marshalling the passengers. A simple to use, electronic release button situated either on the vessel bridge or at a remote control point is used to deploy the system. Once activated, electric bowsing winches automatically operate to bowse the liferaft securely into position. This hands-free system is fully deployed in approximately one minute.

SurvitecZodiac Medium height Inflatable Systems (MIS) This Twin Track Inflatable Slide System is currently available for heights between 3.8 & 12.5 metres. This system deploys at right angles to the vessel. The MIS slide is packed together with either a 100/150 person Throwover or Throwover self-righting canopied liferaft. When supplied for use with 100/151 ORIL’s, a second liferaft can be packed into the container so when inflated and bowsed, it is immediately available for boarding. Secondary liferafts can be available for bowsing outboard of the receiving raft. Main Features •

DBC Vertical Chutes The DBC brand of chute systems are available* in single & double track formats for use at heights up to 33 metres. The system comprises a vertical chute with a platform at the base. Throwover liferafts are connected via an interface to the receiving platform. The chute and platform are contained in a housing on the evacuation deck. A simple pull handle automatically deploys the chute and inflates the receiving platform. Passengers and crew simply jump into the chute and their vertical descent is controlled via the engineered vertical descent control mechanism (zig-zag system). * depending on flag state approval status
