4 Calculation of tE and of tM

  4.1 Embarkation time tE

According to the evacuation procedure, each MES is used by 200 persons, if all four MES are available. Based on full scale trials on craft having similar arrangements and using the same MES and same number of crew, the total time needed to deploy, inflate and mooring the liferaft and to embark 100 persons is 330 s (5 min and 30 s). Accordingly, the total embarkation time is 660 s (11 min).

  4.2 Deployment time tM

Based on full scale trials on craft having similar arrangements and using the same MES, the total time needed to deploy and inflate an MES is 150 s (2 min and 30 s).
