Zodiac launches automatic escape slide

摘要

The Zodiac marine evacuation system (MES) evacuation slide system (ESS) features an inflatable slide and open reversible life raft that can be launched and inflated automatically by the ship's Master on the bridge. By pressing a button on the systems control box in the wheelhouse, the unit is automatically launched over the ships side where the slide and raft will inflate. A pair of self-tensioning electric winches will then pull-in bowsing lines to make the escape system secure and ready for use.
