Description
This paper explores the benefits and challenges associated with the installation of an Alternative Evacuation System (AES) in lieu of traditional survival craft on a modern passenger ship covering three different configurations and layouts (All AES, AES and Life rafts, AES and Life rafts and Lifeboat / tenders). The discussion will include an overview of the Type Approval process and detailed insight into the regulatory framework governing design. It will also address the considerations for operation, maintenance and survey of the asset throughout its life. This paper will assist the overall maritime community in further understanding this disruptive innovation.
