AUTOMATIC GUIDE LINE INSTALLATION APPARATUS TO SEARCH VESSEL AND RESCUE PASSENGERS IN MARINE ACCIDENT OF OFFSHORE PLANT OR VESSEL

摘要

The present invention relates to an automatic guide line installation apparatus to search a vessel and rescue passengers in a marine accident of an offshore plant or a vessel, wherein a guide line is automatically installed to support on-board search and rescue operations of rescue workers, if on-board search and rescue operations are needed when a marine accident occurs in offshore plants and vessels. The apparatus comprises: a housing accommodating the guideline installation apparatus; an automatic opening device installed on the outside of the housing and configured to open the housing when the housing is exposed to a predetermined water pressure; a compressed air injection device formed inside the housing, opened by a nozzle when the housing is opened by the automatic opening device, and ejecting compressed air accommodated therein; a buoy connected to the compressed air injection device, and configured to be inflated by receiving the compressed air discharged from the compressed air injection device and to have a low specific gravity to float on the sea; and a guideline connected to one side of the buoy and connected to one side of the hull on the other side thereof. Therefore, if on-board search and rescue operations are needed when a marine accident occurs in offshore plants and vessels, the guide line is automatically installed to immediately support the on-board search and rescue operations of rescue workers, thereby increasing the survivability of victims through rapid hull search and lifesaving operations due to the marine accident.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2017
