Requires one one crew member to operate
The new single bowsing winch technology that creates just the right pull in just the right places to ensure the liferaft is swiftly, safely and easily pulled into place ready for evacuation. The winch operator can see right into the liferaft and supervise evacuation from the embarkation point.

Slide and liferaft can be stored separately

The slide is packed in a valise and can be stored in a vessel-convenient location. The system liferaft and additional liferafts can be stored in racks separately from the slide to make storage as
flexible as possible.

The system can be combined with most VIKING liferafts or combination of liferafts to ensure that the evacuation system matches the vessel’s evacuation requirements.
