Cat-Slide MES

The DSB Cat-Slide MES is designed principally for smaller ferries and passenger vessels and uniquely ideal for low freeboard vessels.
The key to the system’s success is its simplicity. Operation of the DSB Cat-Slide MES is so efficient that only one crew member is required during deployment. The system is extremely flexible, and can be configured to suit the requirements of each vessel. The complete system with liferafts and slides is inflated, bowsed and ready for boarding in under five minutes.

Chute System

Vertical chute systems are efficient, flexible, cost-effective evacuation systems.
During an emergency, a crew member releases the MEC by the pull of a handle. The chute and platform fall to the water and the platform automatically inflates.
The passengers’ descent to the attached platforms below is controlled by the engineered zig-zag control mechanism. Passengers are then dry-transferred to liferafts.
