A new case study released by survival technology solutions provider Survitec and Norwegian sightseeing operator Brim Explorer highlights how marine evacuation systems (MES) have become an important engineering consideration in the development of passenger vessels, particularly low-emission designs.
"We're seeing a clear change in the conversations we're having with shipowners and operators," said Jan Eskil Hollen, Managing Director – Marine Nordics at Survitec.
"Safety and compliance remain essential, but operators are increasingly looking at how systems can support wider design objectives, including passenger experience, available space and operational efficiency.”
Following an evaluation of competing systems, Brim Explorer selected SurvitecZodiac Small Inflatable Slide (SIS) MES for its lightweight design, compact footprint and the ability to provide servicing and engineering support throughout Norway.
Brim Explorer, one of Europe's fastest-growing maritime tourism operators, has built its fleet around fully electric and hybrid propulsion, operating whale watching and fjord cruises in spectacular nature in Norway. With the company targeting a fleet of ten fully electric vessels by 2030, every design decision now has measurable implications for energy efficiency, passenger capacity and operational performance.
According to Brim Explorer’s Co-founder and CTO, Espen Larsen-Hakkebo, weight and space efficiency were among the most important factors during the
