7. CURRENT LAUNCH SYSTEMS

8. LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT
LAUNCHING SYSTEMS
DAVIT SYSTEMS FREE FALL SYSTEMS
• On-load Release Hooks • Physical mobility
• Bowsing and tricing • Capacity limited
• Falls, sheaves • Rotation on entering water
• Winches • Evenly loaded
• Listing
• Weather
• Overloading

9. CURRENT LIFEBOATS

10. EVACUATION MODELLING
Evacuation time = Awareness time + Walking time + Embarkation + Launching time
Phases of Evacuation Level of Control
Awareness time Medium/Low
Walking time High
Embarkation time Medium
Launching time Low

11. RISK ASSESSMENT
Graph of Probability of Escape Against Time for Each Accident Type
Probability of time available
for escape
