This unique design combines the highest evacuation capacity with discreet, compact and self-contained design for maximum safety and relatively little deck disruption. The design is based on extensive experience in manufacturing the market’s leading evacuation chute systems. Exhaustive trials have proven that the new system provides the stability and passenger protection synonymous with VIKING products. Adaptable capacity Each VEDC system contains two 153 person liferafts. Capacity can be increased to suit the exact ship requirement with additional drop liferafts. Largest capacity chute system available The unique dual system is constructed from two conjoined chutes. The fully enclosed chute lined with aramid protects evacuees from environmental hazards, such as severe weather conditions, during descent directly into high capacity liferafts.
