VIKING's Evacuation MiniChute system is designed especially
for small and medium sized vessels


The VEMC design is based on the effective design of the full size VIKING Evacuation Chute (VEC). The system is lightweight and compact, and is fully contained in the stowage unit for installation almost anywhere on board.

Flexible capacity
The system contains a 101 person self-righting liferaft. Capacity can be increased by attaching additional throw overboard liferafts.

The fully enclosed Kevlar lined chute is fire retardent and protects evacuees from severe weather conditions during descent and compensates for ship and sea movement during evacuation for safe transfer into the system liferafts. The stowage unit can be easily unbolted and lifted from the vessel for servicing.
