VENOC Evacuation System
VENOC is the most flexible evacuation chute system available for vessels today. It can be used at evacuation heights between 5-40 meters and is certified for damage conditions of 18 degrees trim and 20 degrees list. • Improved safety with a smaller deck footprint System features: • Small deck footprint • Swift and easy deployment • Perfect for FPSO’s, drillships, special purpose offshore vessels, wind turbine ships, and installations • Flexible evacuation heights from 5 to 40 meters • No bowsing lines or welded connection points on ship’s side • Neutral at 18° trim and 22° list conditions. • Excess chute rings are simply stacked in the buoyancy device • Operating temperatures from -20°C to +65°C • Flush with ship side when stowed and cantilevered when deployed • Integrated 50 or 100 person self-righting liferafts • Optional steering line to guide direction of main liferaft • Evacuation capacity: 125 persons within 10 minutes • Additional drop liferaft (optional) increases total capacity • Chute test according to SOLAS/LSA and with • EU wheel marking certificate, USCG-EU MRA • Classification: Lloyd’s Register • VENOC is specially designed for ship-shaped offshore installations, the VENOC evacuation system is installed on the open deck or between decks. With a minimal deck footprint and a less stressful evacuation process, the VENOC offers a safe and cost-efficient alternative to conventional on board survival craft solutions. • Deployment • Upon the pull a few levers, a hydraulic arrangement tilts the evacuation system into position for deployment. The main self-righting liferaft is connected to the buoyancy device and inflates. • Automatically at sea level – making it simple to board. No bowsing lines or welded connection points on the vessel’s side are necessary.More details upon request
