Abstract

The present invention relates to a floatable unit for evacuation purposes, which in a storage situation comprises at least two shells made of rigid or semi-rigid material, said shells being adapted to accommodate a deflated structure. Said deflated structure of the unit, during an evacuation situation, is inflated and the shells are attached to the inflated structure whereby the shells operate ashull parts for the floatable unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a floatable device for evacuation purposes, said floatable device comprising, in a stored state, at least two shells made of rigid or semi-rigid material, said shells being adapted to accommodate an inflatable structure. Background technique [0002] Evacuation of ship passengers and crew into inflatable life rafts or lifeboats is known in emergency situations. [0003] Life rafts are usually stored in containers in a deflated state on the deck of a vessel. In this stored state, the container does not take up much ground or space on deck. Additionally, a rack system may be provided on the deck of a vessel for housing one or more containers. During an evacuation situation, the container is either thrown overboard into the water, after which it is inflated, or it is inflated on board and then lowered into the water. Then, the evacuation of personnel can be carried out. [0004] Inflatable life rafts are now suitable f...
