AI Technical Summary
Existing evacuation systems, particularly those with angled or vertical passages, are not adequately designed to operate safely in heavy weather conditions such as force six weather with significant swell, as they are prone to hazardous lateral movements and cannot effectively manage the height difference between structures and inflatable crafts.
The escape system incorporates a platform and passage with engagement members, such as rails and recesses, that restrict transverse movement and include coupling mechanisms to prevent lifting, allowing for longitudinal movement while maintaining stability, and utilizes inflatable structures and guiding walls to ensure safe evacuation.
The system enhances safety during evacuation in heavy weather by stabilizing the passage and platform, preventing hazardous movements, and ensuring secure access to inflatable crafts, even in challenging sea conditions.
