Benefits of technology

[0011]The solution consists in a shaft or the like, e.g. from the control room to get to the inner escape hatch in the bottom of the boat. Furthermore, the inner escape hatch is opened and then it is possible to climb into an evacuation room in the bottom

Problems solved by technology

When a vessel capsizes the problem arises that the people on board cannot take advantage of the common emergency exits in a ship.
This is because they are either under water or are difficult to use due to the fact that they are upside down.
In addition, there arises a problem that people who are in the bottom of the vessel, such as the engine room, must find his way out of the vessel when it is upside down and out through escape routes that might be filled with water.
There is thus a danger in a capsize that people are trapped inside the boat, and must

Embodiment Construction

[0015]FIG. 1 is an embodiment of the present invention. It is shown a cross section of the fuselage 101 of a vessel. It can be seen that the hull comprises an inner 102 and an outer part 101 with a layer of air in between. This is a common solution in large vessels and is called watertight bulkheads. This is to prevent water from entering the vessel if the outer hull 101 is damaged and has sprung a leak.

[0016]Furthermore, we see that there is an escape hatch 103 in the outer hull, which opens into the evacuation room 107. This is in order to ensure that it is possible to open the escape hatch 103 when the ship lies heavily in the sea and the hatch 103 is partially under water.

[0017]The escape hatch 103 is not opened until everybody has put on the rescue equipment that is stored in the evacuation room 107. Everybody will therefore be prepared for the challenges that one may encounter. The point is that anyone who stands in the evacuation room 107 must be prepared for the intrusion of...

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, said climbing device (106) unfolds when the said vessel has a lopsidedness in excess of a pre-determined number of degrees.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention regards a device and a procedure for the evacuation of a vessel, and especially the evacuation of a capsized vessel and where the remaining escape routes for various reasons cannot be used.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]When a vessel capsizes the problem arises that the people on board cannot take advantage of the common emergency exits in a ship. This is because they are either under water or are difficult to use due to the fact that they are upside down. In addition, there arises a problem that people who are in the bottom of the vessel, such as the engine room, must find his way out of the vessel when it is upside down and out through escape routes that might be filled with water.[0003]Furthermore, it is important that the watertight bulkheads are closed as quickly as possible to prevent the vessel filling up with water in order to prevent it from sinking. There is thus a danger in a capsize that people are trapped inside the boat, and...
