VIKING’s evacuation dual chute system is designed for the largest passenger carrying vessels

The evacuation dual chute, or VEDC, is VIKING’s highest capacity chute system to date and is combined with 150 person high capacity liferafts for safe, rapid evacuation from large passenger carrying vessels.

This unique design combines the highest evacuation capacity with discreet, compact and self-contained design for maximum safety and relatively little deck disruption.

Largest capacity chute system available
The unique dual system is constructed from two conjoined chutes. The fully enclosed Kevlar lined chute protects evacuees from environmental hazards, such as severe weather conditions, during descent directly into high capacity liferafts.

SOLAS requirements are minimum standards for VIKING
VIKING systems are tried and tested for capacity and stability in conditions at least matching, but often well above, those required for certification.
