Abstract
Evacuation trial on domestic ro-ro passenger ship is reported to confirm the effectiveness of the evacuation chute system. The total of 356 passengers are participated in this trial and 244 passengers descended a vertical chute and transferred to five inflatable liferafts for 50 persons. Movements of all passengers and the various evacuating operations were recorded by video-cameras and bar-code readers. The time required for descending of 50 persons is analyzed, and total evacuation time is presented to be within one hour, when intervals of descending the chute between passengers are controlled in five seconds on average. An evaluation of the chute system is discussed through the measurements and observations in this trial from the points of ease and speed for each evacuating operations.
