Definitions
- the present invention regards a device and a procedure for the evacuation of a vessel, and especially the evacuation of a capsized vessel and where the remaining escape routes for various reasons cannot be used.
- MS “Bourbon Dolphin” was an anchor handling vessels owned by shipping company Bourbon Offshore Norway in Fosnavag. It was built at Ulstein Yard in 2006 and was of the type "Ulstein A102.” The ship capsized while moving the anchor for the semi- submersible drilling rig Transocean Rather about 75 nautical mile west of Shetland, at 18.20 on 12 april 2007. Seven of the 15 crew were rescued alive, eight were found dead.
- MS "Rocknes” was a specialized vessel for dumping of rocks on the seabed. In the afternoon, 19 January 2004 the ship was southbound in the Vatle Stream, south of
- US 1130301 describes a solution where there is a hatch that can be opened in the bottom of a rescue vessel.
- the invention describes a solution that will make it possible to get out of the rescue vessels if they were to be washed ashore up / down and you do not have the ability to open the main escape hatch at the top of the vessel. This solution is designed for relatively small vessels and only if it is washed ashore.
- Figure 1 is a cross section of the hull of a vessel with an embodiment of the invention implemented.
- FIG. 2 is a more detailed picture of the invention according to the embodiment shown in Figure 1
- Figure 3 shows the hull of a vessel as seen from the outside with the present invention implemented.
- Figure 1 is an embodiment of the present invention. It is shown a cross section of the fuselage 101 of a vessel. It can be seen that the hull comprises an inner 102 and an outer part 101 with a layer of air in between. This is a common solution in large vessels and is called watertight bulkheads. This is to prevent water from entering the vessel if the outer hull 101 is damaged and has sprung a leak.
- Attached to the escape hatch 103 is, for example, either a rope ladder 104, or a ladder 108 in order to let the crew in the evacuation room 107 climb up and out of the escape hatch 103.
- the escape hatch 105 should turn inwards into the evacuation room 107. This is because in the event of damage to the hull and water in the evacuation room 107 it will not be possible to open the escape hatch 105, which can have disastrous consequences and even accelerate the sinking of the vessel.
- the escape hatch 105 gives access to the sealed escape room 107. Similar to the outer escape hatch 103, it is connected steps 204, in order to make it possible for people who are in the boat to get to the evacuation room 107 between the two escape hatches 105, 103.
- the automatic emergency light in the control room, shaft and evacuation room is activated if the vessel would end upside down.
- An air vent ensures ventilation in the evacuation room. This air vent closes before the last escape hatch is opened.
- the valve can also be closed from the engine by, in case of damage to the hull.
- the emergency hatches can advantageously have a solution that makes it impossible to open the outer escape hatch 103 if the inner escape hatch 105 is open. This is in order to prevent that the opening of the outer escape hatch 103 will affect the buoyancy of the vessel. If both escape hatches are opened, the air that keeps the boat floating will escape when the vessel is evacuated .
- the light from these lamps 201 is connected to a battery pack 202 that is activated when the vessel has a bias of a certain number of farms.
- the evacuation room 107 is equipped with a vent 205 regardless of the condition the ship is in. This is because the area is classified as a moist and damp area. In order to prevent the emergency equipment and the like from being destroyed, there must be some form of ventilation.
- the air valve can easily be closed before evacuating the ship. Should the ship hit the bottom, and that the hull damaged, the valve can also be closed, e.g. from the engine room.
- the system of escape hatches can be arranged so that it is not possible to have both doors open simultaneously.
- the life rafts inflate when in water and the escaping people can get away from the ship and wait to be picked up by rescue personnel.
- Figure 3 it is shown a perspective view of the bottom of a vessel.
- the number of escape hatches 301 and escape routes 302 has to be specially adapted to each ship in order to make all rooms located in the bottom of the vessel evacuate able thru the hull of the vessel. Examples of such spaces may be cabins, control rooms and engine rooms.
