Wow how much does something like that cost?
I want to know it's price and source of procurement
I feel like deployment from a vessel that is half sunk would be a problem. Probably get ripped to hell too.
2:37 your welcome
paf ,poco probable de noche y con de viento y olas grandes.
Let me guess your here from that tic tok vid
You are here from tiktok
si
Haha yeah
Yup
Yasss
2:35
Are used to be certified for RFDs and Vikings ,Dunlop Beaufort and many others used to pack liferafts in Houston Tx and General manager in Corpus Christi for fire protection service 20 years ago The new system looks pretty interesting
so in relatively calm seas, it does not deploy correctly. What a pile of shit
It was still inflating. By the time inflation was complete, it was out of the water again. I'd say that's pretty impressive for a self-righting raft that you just drop in the water from 100' and deploys entirely automatically.
CO2 cylinder actually releases CO2 not air
Why build a liferaft with sodding great windows ?
Sea trials were a fail, took on way too much water and did not fully inflate - and I've seen bigger waves before!
A floating mass body bag is what that is!!
I love how they show deployement at hiigh seas at the end, so different than many other evac videos, only showing calm seas which is not realistic in real life situation.
That slide looks like it would be pretty sketchy in high seas.
Actually, I was thinking they should not have shown it because it didnt fully inflate and like David said, the slide looked totally sketch. Also, without tag lines down low where most ships would not have access the whole thing looked pretty out of control.
no i didnt pay attention well but i wonder how it would inflate in the event of an electrical failure...also most of these slide systems must have weight ans size limits. you would have to have a plan B if you used this
They don't use electricity for inflation, they use compressed gas. No way an electric compressor could ever be that fast.. I don't know about the slide platform, that might use some hydraulics, but my guess is it either just uses gravity, or uses power but has a manual backup option.
A good show, I would say the weather is only about F5. Full daylight with everyone knowing its a drill. Now I wonder what it would be like in F9 at 3am with a frightened crew knowing their ship is sinking and then trying to get, say 600 elderly passengers down the chute!!!! I don't think so. These systems are dangerous and are an excuse to overcome the need for proper lifeboats with the required number of properly trained crew to operate them. MES is a disaster waiting happen. J.C. Twenty six years experience as ships officer on passenger ships.
Thank you from Canada folks, I appreciate the level of detail, now just need to find where your kit is available out West in Alberta!
This is pretty amazing, seeing what is available and then looking at what the El Faro actually had. I think that Bunch on the El Faro would have been better off with a bunch of Walmart kayaks.
Any know this song?
AT 5:25 I NOTICED THAT CORNER WAS GETTING SWALLOWED BY THE SEA.. by the time its loaded up it ll be freezing cold and wet...with 🌀water and wind How can it be thermal protected with those big ole low cut windows....
It has a suspended floor and ceiling so the survivors are not in contact with he water inside the rescue raft. Did you not watch the video? It states that clearly.
@@rfarevalo No the suspended floor means they are not in contact with the water in the ocean. Any water in the raft would need to be drained or bailed out
What if it gets popped?
There are multiple independent chambers, so if one or even several chambers fail, it isn't catastrophic. Plus I believe all life rafts come with several repair clamps (I believe it's required), so if you notice and locate the puncture quickly enough, and it isn't too big, you can seal the leak pretty easily. Google 'life raft repair clamp', it's a pretty neat device- basically two oval-shaped metal plates, with a threaded post attached to the middle of one of them, going through a hole in the other, and a wing nut that clamps them together. You insert one of the plates inside the hole / slit in the rubber(enlarging it if necessary), the other on top of it, and tighten the wing nut. It can even be done underwater if you have to.
I didn't see a way move the system away from the sinking ship
Christian Wilhite hydrostatic release Units will cut the strappings and bowsings and Stuff like that
These are shit
It looks like it took in a huge amount of water in those sea trials. Collapsed the first chamber with the slide. High-Drop lifeboats are far better/safer than this.
Chris McCoy yep i was JUST going to comment on that!
It was still inflating. By the time inflation was complete, it was out of the water again. I'd say that's pretty impressive for a self-righting raft that you just drop in the water from 100' and deploys entirely automatically, in a matter of seconds.. As for taking on water, all life rafts are equipped with multiple bailing buckets and probably some bailing sponges. This design might even be self-draining due to the suspended floor, I'm not sure (my guess is it has drains with a drain plug, so that any water it takes on during inflation will drain out automatically, and then get plugged to keep occupants dry).
And how many people does it take to repack the system I used to hold certificates with our RFD in the United States
How long does it take to repack this system
You wouldn't, just like how you wouldn't repack a lifeboat.
Smok.. 😂😂
Jimmothy McWickers it will get repacked after deployment Test. There is like an Interval you have to Test the System
I'm curious why no pictures on the inside of the raft while deployed in heavy weather at the end?
Once it is used, can the life raft be collapsed and used again at some future date? Or is it a one-use thing, and then thrown away? I'm thinking about if this were installed on a cruise ship... could the crew ever do drills using this? Or would using it make it unusable again?
+Jim Zimmerlin Video claims it's "fully reversible" at 3:33, so I'm assuming that means re-usable.
Yannick Marcotte-Gourde fully reversible, meaning up-side down is just as buoyant, stable and useable. If it flips, you don't have to get over a hundred people to right the craft.
You have an Interval for doing a deployment Test. After that you will change the System to a fresh Serviced one. And the released System is going to Service Station, getting checked and repaxked
Right before it's due for replacement is when the crew gets an opportunity for a test/drill. Considering these are replaced every 10 years though I don't think that's often enough for passenger ships. I believe they have to do a drill during every voyage. I thought about the same thing honestly.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my account password. I love any tips you can give me
its good but is it favorable on of africa like uganda
I guess if you had a number of these things it would be ok. With only one you might have capacity for 600 people in the raft but they all have to get there via a single path of egress. Pretty risky and how do you get a wheelchair down that slide?
Modern ships carry AT LEAST 125% capacity in life rafts and life jackets.
That's a pretty stupid question.. A wheelchair? man fuck that! In a worst case scenario the person on the wheelchair would just slide down on that thing and leave the wheelchair behind don't you think? -.-'
Sean Williamson On my ship we have 4 of these stations plus 8 more life rafts for the disabled or others that cannot use the chute. Thats a capacity of 1920 people and we never carry more than 1400. I dont think any ship would ever just have one of these MES.
+Cassandra Russell so since you've seen these things how do they work with babies. I mean like if my family and I are on a cruise I'm not going to send my 6 month old baby down all by his self.
You and baby go down together..........weeeeee...........perfectly safe. been down these a few times now
