摘要：This paper presents a continuation of the projects [5,6] dealing with the novel concepts of evacuating people from large passenger ships.A novel integrated drive and control system for chain lift with lifeboats fastened on it as well as for stern port- ramp,is presented.Additional novel elements is the application of the stern port - ramp fitted with a buoyancy element,and its increased capability of automatic adjusting its operational deflection in the case of a large forward trim of ship.It increases safety and comfort of evacuation in the difficult conditions,but to obtain it a more complex drive and control system has been required to be designed.
