Abstract
A concept of drive and control system of a novel device for people evacuating from large passenger ships Year-after-year increasing number and size of sea-going passenger ships make it necessary to search for novel methods of evacuation of passengers from such large objects or to improve those which have been applied so far. This paper presents a concept of one of the original methods, in which, a.o., chain lifts have been applied to hold up life boats during voyage as well as to launch them in case of evacuation. Technical assumptions and requirements as well as schematic diagram of the hydraulic drive and control system of the lift, is presented.

Year-after-year increasing number and size of sea-going passenger ships make it necessary to search for novel methods of evacuation of passengers from such large objects or to improve those which have been applied so far
The presented concept of evacuation method of people from a large passenger ship was elaborated by this author for the passenger ship Queen Mary 2 in the frame of the European project SAFECRAFTS
The presented device is equipped with a line hoisting winch located in the fore upper part of the slipway. It is intended for the hoisting of successive boats out of water, e.g. after tests of the device, through the ramp to the extreme fore position on the slipway, from which each boat is lifted up on the catches of the chain lift unit under operation
Summary
The presented concept of evacuation method of people from a large passenger ship was elaborated by this author for the passenger ship Queen Mary 2 in the frame of the European project SAFECRAFTS.
