Fast and efficient evacuation with increased capacity
The VIKING Undertun is a state-of-the-art marine evacuation system designed for ferries operating in sheltered waters. With its intuitive walk-off or slide-off concept and fully self-contained operation, the system ensures a fast, safe and seamless evacuation – even with limited crew on board.
Now, a new high-capacity 203-person life raft makes it easier than ever to evacuate more passengers in less time, with fewer rafts per ship side.
Increased capacity, same trusted solution
With the introduction of a 203-person life raft, the VIKING Undertun marine evacuation system now offers an even more efficient setup for larger commuter ferries. Operators can reduce the number of rafts needed per ship side while maintaining the same high standard of safety and reliability.
The new raft expands the Undertun range, making it easier to match system capacity with vessel size – without adding complexity to installation or operation.
Self-sufficient operation – at the push of a button
The Undertun system includes an integrated 12V battery and can be activated automatically from the stowage box, the bridge or remotely – with no need for electrical connections to the ship. That means it’s ready to go when you need it most.
Designed to perfectly fit the ship's side
With its sleek design and compact footprint, the Undertun system integrates with the vessel’s hull via a frame and shell door. The gangway adjusts for ship-raft motion, while surface textures help guide evacuees safely and intuitively toward the raft.
