VIKING Offshore Offshore Evacuation Systems VIKING SES-2D Offshore Evacuation System SpEcIal FEaturES SES-2D is a high capacity evacuation system for offshore installations in very harsh weather conditions. The system components are protected from the weather inside the heat traced container. It features controlled launching and recovery in temperatures from -40°C to +65°C, and comes complete with integrated liferafts. Evacuation capacity is 140 persons within 10 minutes, from evacuation heights of up to 40 meters. SES-2D has a type approval and consists of the following components: Blast proof container The container is the structural interface to the platform deck. The SES-2D standard position on the deck is cantilevered from the deck’s edge. When the evacuation system is not in use, all components inclusive of liferafts are safely stored inside the blast proof container. Fire retardant evacuation chute The evacuation chute provides a simple, safe and reliable method for transferring evacuees from deck levels down to sea level. It is divided into cells with speed retarding slides running at opposing angles in a zigzag effect. Openings in the chute located behind each slide, provide easy entry and exit at any level. The speed retarding slides also permit evacuees wearing lifejackets, survival suits and breathing apparatus to pass safely through the chute. The length of the chute is calculated to allow for side motion under strong wind and current conditions. release system SES-2D offers controlled launching using gravity. The speed of the fall is controlled by a constant speed winch. An electrical motor enables recovery of the system when dry. Boarding platform The boarding platform is situated at the base of the chute. It inflates automatically and acts as sea reference point where evacuees can await dry transfer to integrated liferafts or fast rescue crafts. liferafts The system comes with integrated liferafts that are stored inside the blast proof container and accessed via the boarding platform when in use. All VIKING liferafts comply with SOLAS requirements and are equipped with either A-, or B-Pack. Stabilizing weight The stabilising weight is attached to 3 winch wires at the base of the chute and hangs below the waterline when deployed. It keeps the escape passage/chute taut and reduces side motion from wind and sea current. Service Liferafts and boarding platform must be recertified every year. Annual inspection and system function test (performed at the same time as the liferafts’ and boarding platform’s service). Winch wires shall be inspected regularly and renewed at intervals not exceeding 4 years. Periodical lubrication of winch.
