Section 8.1.10.10 Marine evacuation system (MES)

 Mini-slides should be subject to the requirements for MES unless they are used as an alternative means of embarkation to survival craft arrangements that are both covered by 8.7.5 and have been demonstrated to meet the required evacuation time. The definition of MES does not therefore include a device fitted to the craft (e.g. mini-slide) which need not be deployed in order to meet the requirements of 4.8.
