Marine evacuation system

Marine Evacuation Systems (MES) allow for the rapid transfer of a maximum number of passengers and crew from ships in distress to liferafts.

Marine evacuation systems guarantee successful rescue operations

Designed for mass evacuation

Marine evacuation systems have been designed to provide a mass evacuation capacity, up to 700 people for the largest models.

Different types of MES are available to tailor your needs

Marine evacuation systems usually consist of slides or escape chutes and are associated with a liferaft.

Fast and efficient setup

Most evacuation systems can be deployed by one or two people and the system takes only a few minutes to set up.

Our range of SURVITEC marine evacuation systems

ESS MES SIS systems are available for many SurvitecZodiac & DBC products.

SIS (Small Inflatable Slide)

Small inflatable slides are small, light and easy to use and specially designed for high speed craft where rapid evacuation is required.

They are subject to authorisation when marine evacuation systems are not required and allow for easy descent of passengers in a TO or ORIL raft.

It is an essential safety system, mainly for boats with low freeboard (less than 3.80m).

Easy and cheap to install
– Stored in a case, to be stowed near the evacuation area
– The slide is installed and fitted to the deck with 2 attachment points

Easy to use
– Maximum efficiency with minimum effort
– Lightweight slide easy to position in the raft and to release from the boat
– Equipped with straps on the slides to help people get back on the boat
