Abstract

Maritime accidents caused by vessels are classified as below: collision, contact, grounding, stranding and fire. In case of accidents, the seafarers and passengers need to be evacuated from the vessel. In spite of that the vessel is too more complicated than other transportation or constructions to induce immediate escape. Especially people on a passenger ship or a ferry are not trained crews and they are not familiar with the inner architecture. Hence, we should analyze the Required Safe Escape Time, which is important to improve the survival rate in case of many types of maritime accidents. In this research, we used a Ship Evacuation Analysis Program to carry out a simulation for evacuation on a real ship
