Next generation of life-saving appliances and systems for safe and swift evacuation operations on high-capacity PASSenger ships in extreme scenarios and conditions
SafePASS is an EU Horizon 2020 funded project under the MG-2-2-2018- Marine Accident Response topic. The duration of the project is 3 years and it started in September 2019.
Aim
SafePASS aims to radically redefine the evacuation processes, evacuation systems/equipment and international regulations for passenger ships in all environments, hazards and weather conditions, independently of the demographic factor.
The project will do this by developing an integrated system that will collectively monitor, process and inform, both crew and passengers during emergencies, of the optimal evacuation routes, coupled with advanced, intuitive and easy to use LSA, resulting as such to a significant reduction of the total time required for ship evacuation and increased safety.
- develop a comprehensive post-incident approach from ALARM to RESCUE, including mustering and abandonment in pertinent extreme flooding and fire scenarios, leading to risk estimation and impact of appropriate risk control measures post-flooding/fire emergencies
- design and develop next generation life-saving appliances for large-capacity passenger ships.
- design and develop advanced evacuation support tools and methods that will radically improve evacuation operations while enhancing situation awareness on board
- introduce an advanced platform which addresses the safety needs of passengers during complex evacuation
- provide social and behavioural-driven solutions compatible with international legislation, standards, regulations (SOLAS, GDPR, etc.) and recommendations for future adoption
- validate and demonstrate SafePASS developments on industrially relevant environments
