RESCUE DEVICE FOR EVACUATION OF PERSONNEL OF MARINE OIL AND GAS STRUCTURES IN ICE CONDITIONS

摘要

FIELD: ship building.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of shipbuilding and concerns the issue of ensuring the evacuation and rescue of personnel of offshore oil and gas facilities operating in ice conditions. Rescue device was proposed to evacuate personnel of offshore oil and gas facilities in ice conditions, containing a launch platform with a lifeboat installed on it, and also placed in a protective hull, fixed on an oil and gas offshore structure, a floating module, on which the launch platform is installed. Floating module consists of upper and lower pontoons connected to each other by supporting columns. Upper pontoon is made sealed, and the lower pontoon has a ballast system. Launching platform is designed to accommodate more than one lifeboat on it. Rescue device is equipped with retractable ramps for the descent of boats. In the wall of the protective shell there is an opening for retractable ramps and lifeboats.EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase the safety of evacuation of personnel from offshore facilities in ice conditions while providing a relatively comfortable contact of a lifeboat with a water or ice surface.4 cl, 5 dwg
