Description

Lifeboat launching apparatus and method The present invention relates to a free-fall type lifeboat launching device and a launching method. In the event of an accident at sea, passengers and crew must be able to escape urgently, and for this purpose, lifeboats are used as essential safety devices. Conventional lifeboat launching devices generally maintain a constant angle of inclination to allow the lifeboat to free-fall into the water. In situations where the vessel tilts or loses its stability, the launch angle may become inappropriate, and there is a possibility of collision with floating objects or distressed persons during the descent. Such collisions can cause damage to the lifeboat or result in casualties. Therefore, in the event of a maritime accident, it is necessary to ensure that the lifeboat is dropped at an appropriate angle and to prevent collisions between the lifeboat and floating objects or distressed persons during the descent.
