Viking evacuates the masses

摘要

Marine and fire safety equipment manufacturer Viking Life-Saving Equipment has launched another of its lifesaving products, the Viking LifeCraft system. The LifeCraft System is a self-propelled inflatable vessel with four engines that the company says has a high degree of manoeuvrability and safety and comes with a storing and launching unit, either placed on deck or built in, containing up to four LifeCraft units with a capacity of 200 persons each, for a total capacity of 800 persons. Other features of the LifeCraft System include a specially designed chute system, which helps evacuees with special needs, such as children, the elderly and those on stretchers.
