Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, there is no effective plan for the evacuation of capsized ships. In the report "Risk Estimates for domestic ferry traffic 2008", conducted by the Norwegian Maritime Administration, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and the National Association of Shipping Companies, it was concluded that " Capsizing is a low-probability but potentially serious type of accident”

Embodiment Construction

[0015] figure 1 is an embodiment of the present invention. It shows a cross-section of the fuselage 101 of the ship. It can be seen that the hull comprises an interior 102 and an exterior 101 with an air layer in between. This is a common solution in large ships and is known as a watertight bulkhead. The watertight bulkhead prevents water from entering the ship if the outer hull 101 is damaged and leaks.

[0016] Furthermore, we see that in the outer hull there is an escape hatch 103 which leads to an evacuation chamber 107 . This is to ensure that the escape hatch 103 can be opened when the ship is mostly at sea and the hatch 103 is partially submerged.

[0017] The escape hatch 103 is not opened until everyone has donned the survival equipment stored in the evacuation room 107 . Therefore, everyone will prepare for the challenges they may encounter. The point is that anyone standing in the evacuation chamber 107 must be ready for the injection of water when the hatch 1...

Abstract

System for evacuation of personnel from a capsized vessel via a lockable escape hatch (103) in the bottom of said vessel, characterized in that the system comprises a first lockable escape hatch (105), said first lockable escape hatch(105) leads to an evacuation room (107), said room (107) is provided with a second lockable escape hatch (103), said room (107) is illuminated by lamps (201) receiving energy from a battery pack (202) not connected to the said vessel's energy system,said first and second lockable escape hatch (103, 105) cannot be opened simultaneously,in relation to said first lockable escape hatch (105), it is connected a device (106) for climbing, and said climbing device (106) unfolds when the said vessel has a lopsidedness in excess of a predetermined number of degrees.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices and procedures for the evacuation of ships, in particular the evacuation of capsized ships in situations where other escape routes cannot be used for various reasons. Background technique [0002] When a ship capsizes, the problem arises that people on board cannot use public emergency exits in the ship. This is because these outlets are either underwater or difficult to use because they are upside down. In addition, there is the problem that when the ship is upside down, persons at the bottom of the ship, eg in the engine room, have to find their way out of the ship and escape via an escape route which may be filled with water. [0003] Additionally, it is important to close the watertight bulkheads as quickly as possible to prevent the ship from flooding and thus preventing the ship from sinking. Therefore, there is a risk of people being trapped inside the boat if it capsizes, so it must be aborted. [000...
