Slides at SMM
Naval architects and shipbuilders seeking to optimise the safety of their next project are being invited to the Survitec Group stand at the SMM exhibition in Hamburg. The company will be showcasing its SurvitecZodiac range of escape slides and liferafts.
Notable among these is the fully automatic ESS (Escape Slide System) MES escape slide system that can be launched at the touch of a button and made ready for use without any crew involvement. According to Survitec Group, this system has been winning sales, particularly among fast ferry operators, who recognise the value of having crew available for other emergency tasks while the escape slide and liferaft are being prepared automatically. These slides employ a single escape track that can be any length suitable for freeboards from 1.2 m to 3.8 m. It is also easily retro-fitted and can make a particularly valuable contribution to any vessel operating with a small crew.
The Survitec Group stand at SMM will be a focus for all of the advanced safety expertise available from the company. It will bring together products from the individual companies within the group and will include equipment from RFD, DSB, Brude and Crewsaver which between them will cover every aspect of maritime lifesaving technology.
