Viking VES Evacuation Slide (double track slide – steel systems)

The Viking VES evacuation slide system is the ideal solution for high sided passenger vessels. The VES evacuation slide system is a high capacity evacuation system and it can be suited on any ship design and capacity. The landing platform saves valuable time in an emergency situation as evacuation can commence before the liferafts are completely inflated.

Several evacuees can descend the double slide at the same time and access the system liferafts from the landing station. The platform can also be disengaged from the slide and function as a supplementary rescue unit.
