Analysis of the impact of deploying thermal protective immersion suits on evacuation time for passenger ships operating in polar waters
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-22)For passenger vessels operating in polar waters, the Polar Code requires that in case of possibility of immersion in polar waters, thermal protective immersion suits (TPIS) should be available for all passengers. Thus, international standards require that TPIS can be donned within 2 min and that walking speeds are reduced by no more than 25%. Clearlythese requirements are arbitrary and do not ... -
An experimental analysis of the impact of thermal protective immersion suit and angle of heel on individual walking speeds
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-16)Background: Incarcerated individuals have poor mental health compared to the general population. Social support has a benefcial efect on mental health. The bufering model proposes that social support facilitates coping under stressful conditions, while the main efects model suggests that belonging to social networks and having positive social interactions are benefcial for mental health.

Factors influencing the time required to don thermal protective immersion suits correctly
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-10)The cold environment in polar regions introduces additional challenges when abandoning passenger vessels and offshore facilities. The International Maritime Organization Polar Code requires vessels operating in polar regions to be equipped with approved thermal protective immersion suits (TPIS) that can be donned unassisted within 120 s. As time is critical during an evacuation, quantifying the Net ... -
A methodology for collecting donning times of thermal protective immersion suits intended to be worn by passengers on vessels operating in cold environments
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)Adequate thermal protection for passengers travelling on-board vessels in cold climate regions, such as that provided by thermal protective immersion suits (TPIS), enhances passenger survivability in emergency situations, in particular those requiring the abandonment of the vessel. As emergency abandonment is a time critical process, it is essential to consider the time required to correctly don the ... -
Way-finding on-board training for maritime vessels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-03)In the maritime industry, it is of vital importance that personnel onboard ships are familiarized with the ship’s layout, along with safety equipment and processes for safeguarding of the individual seafarer and the ship’s crew. In fact, international maritime regulations require that all personnel employed or engaged on a seagoing ship receive proper familiarization training. However, several studies ...
