ABSTRACT:
A rescue system for a marine structure such as an offshore drilling rig or production platform includes an enclosed type life boat constructed to be supported on board the marine structure by being releasably suspended over free water from a single point or fulcrum. The fulcrum is located relative to the center of gravity of the life boat such that the latter, in its suspended position, adopts a predetermined slanting orientation which it maintains substantially constant throughout its free fall when released from its suspension.
