The VIKING VELS+SMS MiniSlide system with an independent slide and liferaft is designed for vessels with low embarkation heights. The system requires only one crew member to operate and oversee evacuation.
The VIKING Evacuation Liferaft System, VELS+SMS MiniSlide, consists of a 153 persons self-righting or open reversible liferaft used in combination with a SOLAS slide with a length form 3.3 to 6.5 meters and a bowsing winch.
Brake cushion system gives evacuees a clear stopping point at the bottom of the slide and a soft spot.
Easy, reliable deployment
The system is activated by pulling the slip-hook or by means of the remote release
system. The liferaft container falls into the water and the inflation starts immediately. During inflation the bowsing of the system starts and the bowsing of the system proceeds until the bowsing lines are pulled out of the splittubes. Prepare the slide at the embarkation door and inflate the slide into the liferaft.
