VIKING LifeCraft™ 3D Demonstration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июн 2018
- 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.
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!!
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….
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.
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
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
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.
Comment section is true comedy
I found as ı expected
this is just an animation that shows how it goes on, do not know how clear the animation would be in stormy weather, this is an illustration, the fleet goes through a lot of tests, where it is of course also tested in the worst storm weather on the sea and must also be approved by the authorities so it can certainly also save a lot of human life if the accident happens in stormy seas
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.
En now with 8 meter high waves
Right it's fine if your doing this on a lake day lol
And a 300-pound passenger...? 🤔
Mike Gustafson let Them drown lol xD
@@gus473 my thoughts exactly. Anyone of even normal weight can barely fit through one of these tubes. What type of jam up results when a 250 pound person tries?
It has been tested in seas up to 10 metres: cleantechnica.com/2019/04/21/electric-liferaft-passes-extreme-weather-tests/
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!!!
Great technology.... LOVE YOU & GOD BLESS YOU "WIKING"
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.
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.
I'm digging the colon slide.
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
What an amazing concept such a great idea
Looks great in calm water.
Funny how this is in clam weather no listing and flat waves
Included is a small gas stove for cooking the clams you collect in clam weather.
Just came down here to comment that. Someone should share the Lusitania sinking with them.
fred james good point...
Yep! Even in the Titanic although in calm weather and no listing; this system will be difficult to implement at an 20 degree angel from the water !!The development team of this company are geniuses!!!!
Caleb Wagler no need to mention the Lusitania, even with the Titanic this system will be difficult to implement whit an angle of 20 degree from the water .... how you are going to keep the shoots straight???
The original Resident Evil with a nautical twist? Take my money now!!
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.
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.
"
By the time they’ve all evacuated they’ve all gone down with the ship 😂😂
No much happiness joy of love in that comment
I think there should be a Starbucks at the arrival after the born again Viking ceremony.
Most beutyfull live craft ive ever seen!
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
Pretty damn neat!
Passengers:THE SHIP IS SINKING, WE NEED TO GET INTO THE LIFEBOATS!
Crew: ok, but put these shoes on first.
I know
If Titanic had this Jack would have been alive. Damn it
What happens when the ship is capsizing while another Francesco Schettino and another
Italian crew is (very unfortunately) at the helm? Will those boats self inflate on their own
under water while the crew is long gone and the ship is sinking?
What's the procedure to test this system to ensure it works on a regular basis and what if someone gets stuck in the shoot they slide down in? Just cut it off and continue using the other ones? Or send more souls down in hopes to unclog it?
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.
Can't wait to push one button and completely deploy the entire system when taking cruises. I'm sure the cruises won't mind.
This is an interesting concept
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.
FECKIN GENIUS
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
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
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
Looks good in light seas...how would it work in heavy seas with large waves crashing into the lifeboats pushing them into the side of the ship?
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?
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
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
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.
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.
_"Here we see the ship's sphincter."_
What happens if there are high winds and waves ? And if the ship is sinking with an angle away from the life boat launch ?
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
What about larger passengers? Rougher seas? Onboard systems failures? I like the concept but I have a lot of questions.
It's like a lost clip from Gerry Anderson's 'Thunderbirds' and FAB for it
These are coming to viking line's ships?
Perfect!!!!!!!!!
how does the slide fall not hurt the passengers ? it looks like the inside of the slide is spitald so it slows the fall
At 2:09 it demonstrates how you can take lots of oranges with you so everyone has something to eat
I'il take my chances with an empty barrel and a bottle of wine thank you very much.
Can i join you?
So what do you when you have someone with a back unjury?
EXPENSIVE and UNREALISTIC in an emergency.
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 :)
Hi guys, Do you know if this system has already been installed on a danish or Norvegian ship? Have a nice day . Emmanuel
Wow,,, that worked really well.........
What a great product.....
It's just amazing......
I can't believe it works so well....!!!!!
Very good video
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?
I bet the slide bit be fun other then that I rather use a life ring or an titanic era life boat
Would this system work on a rough sea
jeez man,,,,idk. lotta moving parts for an emergency with civilians. but the propeller on it was way cool!
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...
I like that you came out the end like your making sausages lol...
Imagine if the titanic had 4 of these, amazing technology
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
실물로 하면 몇분걸리지모르겠지만
시물레이션이 3분인데 3분안에
몇명이나 타고 주변으로 긴급대피가
가능할까요?
How long does it take to set up?
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!
I hate to join all the critics but this simulates a basic drill scenario. The ship is calm, ocean calm... how would you deploy this if the ship were leaning? Sinking fast? Modern ships are top heavy. Once the water floods certain areas in a ship, the ship looses it ability to stay up right and will capsize. Honestly, ships need the free fall boats. You need to be able to get off the ship fast and effectively. Ship hits a reef and tears a gash down the side, you have a matter of minutes before the ship is “no longer buoyant”
A true viking would rather go down with the ship and straight to Valhalla!
🤣
草
Magnus chase?
Lol
And how exactly does that work in a typhoon, hurricane or gale force storm?
It's an emergency and everyone is slow and expressionless
how will this work with fat or old cruise liner passengers?
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.
The tubes they go down in are like being born again minus the smell and slimy mess hahahaha
Very nice
So that chute looks like it sorta dookies you out onto the boat there don't it?
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.
Why are they evacuation during a beautiful sunny day?
This system only use in cruise liners , not possible in any other vessel.(cargo )
Amazing 👍👍👍👏👏👏🙂
what if someone gets stuck in that tube thing?
Entering a life raft and not evenly distributing the load when doing so?
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.
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..
What about provisions for 161 people per craft? Food and water will take up a lot of space.
Remember the "Costa Concordia"... Ship ship was more than 25 degrees over left side. Will this concept work ?
With ladders
imagine standing at the bottom of that tube trying to keep a straight face LOL
Now do a demo with a storm and 20' waves!
Recommend for Rivers and ponds
A concept product.
