... Lifeboats are a ubiquitous means of evacuation fitted to offshore petroleum installations and marine vessels. For lifeboats operating in ice environments, the magnitude of local ice loads and the structural integrity of these crafts under ice loading are not well understood. To address...

... that gave rise to a revision of previously held beliefs. The significance of the TITANIC, and the events that led to such a large loss of life, remain with us today. public safety ship freight & logistics services law enforcement operation lifeboat contingency planning united state us...

... Lifeboats are the most used marine evacuation craft in both the shipping and offshore industries. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) Lifesaving Appliances (LSA) code does not have criteria for the manoeuvring performance of lifeboats nor for their habitability and effects on human...

... for lifeboat coxswains charged with navigating lifeboats in ice-covered water during emergency evacuation situations. This research study sets out to examine simulator training in comparison with traditional Standard Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) training to observe performance differences...

... Conventional lifeboats have not been designed to withstand ice impact loads. It is uncertain if these boats have the structural capacity to withstand a collision with either level or concentrated pack ice. The main objective of the research reported here is to determine the structural...

... This paper presents a practical design of an ice capable TEMPSC that has been developed to the prototype design stage. Designated the Ice- Strengthened Lifeboat (ISL), it is designed to mitigate the risk of damage or loss, due to crushing by ice, during evacuation from offshore installations...

... for EER in ice, and ISO WG8 is working on a more general standard for the same purpose. The future is promising: ice resistant lifeboats or TEMPSC’s (IRT), various launching devices to deposit crafts safely in or on the ice, and novel methods of evacuation and rescue, discussed in the paper, are under...

... The performance of lifeboats in ice was evaluated using model scale boats in an ice tank. Performance in a range of ice conditions was determined using simple benchmarks. Three different lifeboat hull forms were tested, and two power levels were used for each hull. While open water performance...
