ABSTRACT:
An escape arrangement for use on board a rig (10), platform or similar sea-based construction includes in combination a gangway construction (15, 16) and an inflatable slide (23). The gangway construction (15, 16) is in normal use adapted to form a self-supporting gangway connection between two sea-based constructions (for example between a working rig and an accommodation rig). Further it is adapted to be axially displaced and to be readjusted about a vertical and/or a horizontal axis from the one construction relative to the other construction. The slide (23) is adapted to be able to be stowed away in an inactive condition in a manner requiring little space and in an active use condition to be able to be stretched out to a relatively large length and in an easily adjustable manner relative to a moveable base, to form a regulatable component in the escape arrangement. The slide (23) is fastened to the outer end of the gangway construction and is adapted for easy readjustment from an inactive to an active position to form a free downwardly hanging, direct extension of the outer end of the gangway construction.
