VIKING LifeCraft™ 3D Demonstration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- The VIKING LifeCraft™ system consists of a self-propelled inflatable vessel with four engines, a storing and launching unit either placed on deck or built-in, and an EscapeWay™ chute system to bring evacuees from the boarding point on deck to the craft - a complete high capacity evacuation solution.
A revolutionary hybrid that combines the advantages of lifeboats and liferafts in a single solution
The survival craft contains up to four VIKING LifeCrafts with a capacity of 200 persons each. There is built-in redundancy of capacity to that it can exceed the general capacity of the system. Minimum maintenance is required with integrated storage designed for easy servicing. It takes up less room than lifeboats, freeing up deck space.

That was the most relaxing emergency evacuation I've every watched! I feel completely calm now. =)
Best to use regular lifeboats on davits as seen on 0:07. Load people in until full then lower away. Safest and easiest No one wants to slide down a 7 storey high chute in total darkness and not knowing what's on the other end. Certainly not elderly people.
They would most likely have 8 of those and 4 standard boats for people who want them
They can't fit enough people. I watched some video explaining that there's only enough lifeboats for 10% of passengers or something and the rest need to float around in "crappy" life rafts. It seems like the staff needs to slide down first anyways and they could always add an LED light strip to the inside of the tunnel. It seems okay.
@@chang.stanley its 75% of the ships passengers. The channel was probably "Casual Navigation". The ship must have life boats for 37.5% of the capacity either side. Only the last 25% are expected to use life rafts. Dont spread misinformation
I worked as a marine officer on passenger ships for over 23 years. It my belief that these are a disaster waiting to happen. Yes they comply with current regulations but let's remember that the Titanic also complied with the regulation of the time.
All of these demonstration videos show these systems being used in daylight hours, in calm weather, mostly alongside in port, and with fit young crew members playing the role of passengers.
Now let's look at a situation at night, in a force 9 gale, with a high number of passengers aged 65 and above. I'll leave it up to you to consider the outcome.
@@WillyBoy1226 "I watched some video explaining that there's only enough lifeboats for 10% of passengers or something" What video? Where did they get their information? Please be mindful of what you consume and if important do your own fact checking before spreading that info to others.
I get the feeling this won't be practised too often.
The _'Putting the genie back in the bottle.'_ maxim springs to mind.
1:32 looks more like a Birthing simulation then a evacuation operation.
real 🤣
It really does.
A great concept in theory only.
What this simulation video clearly misses the mark on is reality.
1.A storm
2. The ship is disabled/damaged, listing to one side, or worst yet, sinking fast.
3. Thousands of panicked passengers: women, children, the elderly, and maybe even the crew.
4. Time of day. A nighttime evacuation poses it's own set of challenges and obstacles.
Now, combine all 4 circumstances. What does that look like?
You forgot to mention fat people
And people with fears of heights
Everything you just wrote is accurate but also applies to ships that have regular lifeboats.
People making stupid decisions is one of the biggest concerns. The process has to be as straightforward and simple as possible!
The titanic….
I kinda wanted to see the ship go glub, glub, glub at the end with some brave musicians playing hymns on deck just to make it more realistic.
lol
And, some lady who didn't fit in the lift raft, clinging to a floating door, waiting for her rescue!!
There's a reason this is an animation.
That’s because it doesn’t work.
I couldn’t imagine being forced to exit a ship this way in rough seas.
cleantechnica.com/2019/04/21/electric-liferaft-passes-extreme-weather-tests/
Not to mention in cold climates you’d be freezing your ass off in that little rubber death trap
I found a live demo
Still not much better in my opinion
ruclips.net/video/KS7GYme8R2s/видео.html
Throw in rough seas, 20 degree list, injuries and darkness.
You forgot panic and confusion
And Panic
What are you trying to say?
That nobody evacuates a perfectly good ship unless there are actual problems?
Yep even worst that the so called “old system “!!
and women, children and babies.
As cruise ships increase their passenger capacity, there is a need to design a lifeboat that doesn't take up large space on the deck of the cruise liner. I really like the idea of inflatable lifeboats which is very common on smaller ships. The only issue I have with the "EscapeWay™ chute system" is it's new. Which is going to scare people who don't know what to expect. If it were me, I would build a demonstrator elsewhere on the ship for guests to ride and get familiar with. I'm sure the kids would love it and want to ride it over and over again.
This comment section is RUclips perfection. 100s of people who's never been on a boat is trying to lecture one of the world's most reputable safety equipment manufacturers on sea safety. No doubt the same people lecturing the world-leading experts on how to handle the corona situation despite barley having a highschool degree themselves.
"Of course my common sense beats experts with thousands of hours of expertise and studies in their field".
Doesn’t take a genius to work out having 2 slides for hundreds of passengers isnt efficient. Looks like, it takes an hour to lower and inflate the rafts and what if the boat was sinking on that side?
Hi Togg, Do you know if this system has already been installed on a danish or Norvegian ship? Have a nice day . Emmanuel
@@JGrant60 The Concordia come to mind
Comment section is true comedy
I found as ı expected
3 minutes and 55 seconds to get on to a life boat. Newspaper: there were no suvivours
Lifeboats arent any better, they take ~8min and cannot launch from underwater.
It usually takes awhile for ships to sink, dipshit.
I have been on several cruises and there are always folks who wouldn't even fit into the entry way of this thing let alone manage to get out of the tube.
Serves them right for being a F*t Fuck. Let the skinny ones go first so if they block the tube the rest can leave safely.
How the hell is this going to work during a storm? Calm seas yes, bad weather no way.
You're right. It won't work in bad weather. But neither will launching lifeboats work in bad weather. Or if the ship has a severe list. Reality is that how many people survive a sinking ship comes down to luck. But we still have these systems in place just in case.
@@zombieshoot4318 what are you talking about there are life boats where you go in them and they will fall out of their places and into the water and it is safe during all kinds of weather
@@cartoongrizz3516 You're being silly. We aren't talking about free-fall lifeboats that you see on cargo vessels. We are talking about evacuating a cruise ship with thousands of people in the middle of a storm. When was the last time you saw a free-fall lifeboat on a cruise ship?
I'd say this is actually a really good idea. Have a mix /match type system in place. This one and the traditional to increase the odds of survival and be able to transport more people faster.
Better take swimming lessons before you go on vacation.
And for the fat one that gets stuck in the tubes?
It’ll deploy dicers and clear that right up
Was just thinking the same thing. Can't stop laughing.
I think I read in the brochure that you can get the optional butter smearing attachment for oversized passengers.
@@moshunit96 just give an extra push.
Fat folks will be lubed up
Thats nice and all... assuming that when you need to abandon ship, it’ll be in calm waters when the ship doesn’t even appear to be sinking so that you can have time for all of these systems to slowly set up in and let everyone board.
The fun thing is that systems very similar to this - Marine Evacuation Systems, or MES - are now the norm on most relatively modern cruise ships.
The animation is cheesy, yes - but Viking know what they’re doing.
I think there should be a Starbucks at the arrival after the born again Viking ceremony.
Passengers:THE SHIP IS SINKING, WE NEED TO GET INTO THE LIFEBOATS!
Crew: ok, but put these shoes on first.
I know
Great technology.... LOVE YOU & GOD BLESS YOU "WIKING"
i came up with an innovation/invention for a life boat system but soon as i saw this i was like damn... This concept is amazing!!!
Torqeedo, which makes the electric propulsion for these, just put out a press release which says in part:
"The electric boats successfully completed heavy weather sea trials in October, proving their ability to deploy and operate dependably under the most extreme wind and sea conditions. The tests, witnessed and approved by DNV-GL, took place in the North Sea. Wave heights were between 3.6 and 4.6 meters (11.8-15.1 ft) with peaks up to 10 meters (32.8 ft) - 50 percent above the stipulated heavy weather testing requirements - and wind gusts up to 18 meters per second (40 mph) were recorded. The boats were launched and manoeuvred along the weather and lee sides of the ship, demonstrating their flexibility to move rescue capacity to wherever it is most needed. Then they performed a 24-hour controlled drift test in battering seas with no damage to the vessels.
"
I'm digging the colon slide.
It's nice that the guy can press a button and deploy the life rafts, but what if there's a power failure and the back up generators are malfunctioning? What then?
Ship is sinking and we are all going to calmly put on booties to cover our shoes. Then we are going to wait to every last space is filled on the lifecraft even though it is tethered down with lines to a sinking ship. Have these ever been deployed in a real life and death situation??? What a great sales pitch and I am sure the company made millions just to detract fear.
The original Resident Evil with a nautical twist? Take my money now!!
By the time they’ve all evacuated they’ve all gone down with the ship 😂😂
No much happiness joy of love in that comment
Can't wait to push one button and completely deploy the entire system when taking cruises. I'm sure the cruises won't mind.
the cruise usually crashed by the impact of the great waves, maybe this method need to illustrate when the ship got crashed, turn down a side,and the big waves and wind, or strom
15 foot waves, sinking ship, people having to put on those little "footies". No way. Also, the way the loaded the crafts with people, they will capsize.
cleantechnica.com/2019/04/21/electric-liferaft-passes-extreme-weather-tests/
do you think rigid hulled traditional lifeboats that have to be manually lowered are any better? People can put on and tighten lifejackets but they cant slip a piece of fabric over their shoes? you sound like youve never been on a boat.
So many experts in the common section. I'm honored to be in their presence.
Most beutyfull live craft ive ever seen!
It is not usable when the huge wave strikes the life boat.. Especially when it is in storm station.. I recommend the free fall life boat
Looks great in calm water.
My hat comes off and a light bow goes to the guy who dreamt this up and credible I never seen anything like it in my life hope that the maritime commission and I only for the United States but for other countries will take it into consideration and place it on now I only are cruise ships or any other type of ship that has to cross wonderful invention can't say anything more or less about it
Yeah but the ship is sinking to one side. Will it still work? Depending on how low or how high that side of the ship is sinking, i see people either getting stuck in the tube or dangerously falling straight down.
It's like a lost clip from Gerry Anderson's 'Thunderbirds' and FAB for it
I like the fact someone is trying to come up with a better mouse trap...but...in heavy seas at night, I don’t know.
o have a suggestion the 1st tube will be for the adults and the other tube will be for children up to 15 years old to prevent larger people getting stuck in either one of the tubes
Every time i see these escape chute systems or similar I wonder if they could be used on high rise buildings as well.
VIDEO already on RUclips sound exactly that in china
This is an interesting concept
Looks great but also extremely optimistic. Maybe a render of a sinking ship whilst using the system would more realistic. You know, because most people only use life rafts in emergencies. Like sinking ships...
Seeing all these people, stressed, freaked out, all crammed together, reminds me of playing theme hospital.
One person barfs, starting a chain reaction of vomit that spews forth
What about provisions for 161 people per craft? Food and water will take up a lot of space.
It's an emergency and everyone is slow and expressionless
Always remember to put on your booties before you abandon ship.
Where is the tea kettle located? I've been looking for it for a bit here... also where is the ELB? both would be useful now... please respond thanks.. bye
What an amazing concept such a great idea
LOL. The fact that a 3D Demonstration is uploaded instead of real recordings shows, that in practice this MES doesn't work well. Further the chute is REALLY funny haha
FECKIN GENIUS
imagine standing at the bottom of that tube trying to keep a straight face LOL
Imagine if the titanic had 4 of these, amazing technology
A true viking would rather go down with the ship and straight to Valhalla!
🤣
草
Magnus chase?
Lol
I bet the slide bit be fun other then that I rather use a life ring or an titanic era life boat
01:35 Birth canal carries you away from danger.
Idea came from Alien Queen. 😁
Even if it was not fully loaded. The question is how rigid the life raft would be esp in heavy seas.
Liferafts prove to be great in rough seas, the only problem is the fact that you have to jump down a escape chute for this.. thingy.
You can guarantee panic and those tubes would block with bodies
they probably wont since there designed not to.
@@maws420 how would you know? This is an animation..
blewyd no but the people designing this probably Made iT like that.
@@maws420 no shit.
It’s all fine in a simulation designed for cruise ships now imagine a rough sea possibly a fire out of control 100s of passengers panicking half might be slightly drunk etc it’s a recipe for disaster,
Dang, that’s a cheesy demo. It give me zero confidence.
I would take my chances by just jumping off the ship with the life vest!
Pretty damn neat!
The lifeboat thats giving birth to you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In a case of panic or someone got a bit stuck at the bottom of the slide tube, you got some real problems when other people jump in not knowing and filling it..
Why are they evacuation during a beautiful sunny day?
What if you have a passenger too large to fit in the chute? Or someone who panics and gets themselves wedged in it? Is the system fast enough to self deploy you have instructions of a staff member is not on your vessel? How long would the motor run and where is its fueled stored? How long till the raft looses buoyancy with that many people aboard? Rations? How well does it seal to prevent taking on water without suffocating everyone.
I like that you came out the end like your making sausages lol...
Everyone before you evacuate we would like you to put on some of these booties
What if it’s really stormy and the waves are big.....
...and now the boat is leaning to front or side...and the chubby one gets stuck in the tube while the skinny bi... comes down with freewill speed LOL
Was that a gay cruise? They're all men.
How insulting to poofs!
hard to tell anymore
Fun fact: You obviously lack an IQ because you assume that because they are all men, that they are gay. nice try you punk.
audience2 It’s the Disney magic,wish,dream,or wonder
@@BamesNond4882 audience2 conjectured he did not assume. And for the record everyone has an IQ, be it low or high. Though I conjecture that yours may be low, I will make no assumptions.
how does the slide fall not hurt the passengers ? it looks like the inside of the slide is spitald so it slows the fall
If the ship is equipped with technology that can hold off and withstand things like listing, fire, flooding, and severe weather long enough for people to abandon ship, then these lifeboats would actually be effective.
And if not, then why bother?
Claustrophobia, not going into that fucking tube with that thing at the end.
What is with claustrophobia and people coming in different sizes. I can imagine kids going down this in high speed while other may get stuck?! I wouldn’t even want to go down that thing due to the fear of falling/getting stuck.
This has way to many safety hazards.
The tube first of all. One person gets stuck.
Izick Decay or has a panic attack from claustrophobia.
Entering a life raft and not evenly distributing the load when doing so?
The Italian Captain was the first to get off.
Very nice
it is very complex. are you sure it would really work in titanic sinking?
Remember the "Costa Concordia"... Ship ship was more than 25 degrees over left side. Will this concept work ?
With ladders
What about larger passengers? Rougher seas? Onboard systems failures? I like the concept but I have a lot of questions.
havnt they learned anything from my boy leo and his movie Titanic? the best way to save yourself in the event that you start to sink is to find the nearest floating door...make sure theres only room for one person and a giant necklace.
#nailedit
A concept product.
jeez man,,,,idk. lotta moving parts for an emergency with civilians. but the propeller on it was way cool!
Why separate all the rafts though? Wouldn’t they be a lot easier to spot if they were still together? Also they could save on power by having only one use the thrusters at a time if they need to move. Or if they need to move fast all of them can use at the same time
I know this's 3+ year old comment, but i'm gonna reply anyways!
The reason is quite simple, if something went wrong, a leak in a pontoon, or a wire that snagged on something, it won't take a whole thing down :)
what if someone gets stuck in that tube thing?
I remember when I was born too...... birth canal was hell.
What if a fat person gets stuck in the tube? Or rough sea's?
Getting people to put on the booties in the middle of a real emergency seems like it would be difficult.
i wonder what would 1912 people says when they saw this technology
Am i the only one how thinks this rescue boats look like the front of a bugatti veyron?
Recommend for Rivers and ponds
So... what if that slide tube ends up in the water, and a person is inside it... can the person get out? Or will they drown in there?
And when the boat list you are screwed. What you need is something that launches from the stern, not the sides.
1 Is there a prototype ? 2 How well will it work with a mix of older passengers and children . 3 Will it work in rough seas and at an heavy list ? 4, can untrained passengers work it ? Hope it goes unneeded.
So much for the traditional women and children first rule.
Let's the feminist drown.
Perfect!!!!!!!!!
This system only use in cruise liners , not possible in any other vessel.(cargo )
In my book thy shut stay together all 4. And will the slide take a bick person ??
I find RUclips comments so much more enlightening than the video.
It is amazing just how stupid the designers, manufacturers and certification of these devices are. If only they asked the unqualified commenters for their brilliant advice before starting.
my brain: what if the boat started listing and what if the boat went down fast
It only exists in animation because it's not a good way of getting passengers off a sinking ship.
These are coming to viking line's ships?
