Abstract [en]

In today’s rapid development in world and globalization, transportation had become an important aspect in life. People transport through means of air, water and land. This made drastic increase of transportation and as a result the pollution levels are increased and so does the deaths due to accidents. So, the world is fighting to reduce the pollution and deaths due to accidents. In case of pollution, more refined engines, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles and in recent hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are introduced where this leads to minimum or zero air pollution and as a result pollution emitted from vehicles will be reduced. In case of deaths due to accidents, they are reduced by adding more safety features and increasing the quality of the vehicles. Even after these improvements, accidents do happen around the globe and lives are lost due to it.

Now even after an accident happens on road, there are chances that a passerby or cameras inform to the concerned authorities and then emergency services will be reached to the accident spot in no time. In case of air accidents, there are maximum chances of the flight landing on the ground safely and emergency services reach as soon as possible and in rare cases the plane explodes and we can’t help during those times. Now coming to ship accidents, they happen far from the land, even though there will be lot of time for the ship to sink in water in worst cases but the emergency services takes much time to reach them as the accident spot will be far from land.

So, considering these factors lifeboats are installed in the ships and the passengers are evacuated from ship with the help of lifeboats. But the main problem even after lifeboat is, panic among the passengers; they fight for occupying the lifeboats and this creates chaos situation and as a result more lives are lost. Hence the solution to this problem is discussed in this thesis.

The solution to this problem is building the passenger rooms or cabins in such a way that, they can be uninstalled from the ship and safely land on to the water and act as a lifeboat. In this case the passengers can go back to their allotted rooms and can be safe inside without any chaos.

Hereby it can be concluded that with the help of this solution, the marine industry can develop economically and also people will board into ships without any fear of them drowning in the water.
