Abstract
The emergency conditions in the cruise ship may happened at any time and it results in the form of damage to the vessel and
causing lost of life. But these effects can be reduced by preventive effort. The research was conducted on a river boat type LCT
200 GT operated in the Mamberamo River Papua. The Mamberamo Foja has different characteristics from other ferries, which is
the LCT form and it has different design in passenger luggage and vehicle deck. This research aims to get a access to the
optimum design of the entire system for evacuation of the passengers and crew, to enable then to leave the ship quickly and
safely during an emergency condition. The emergency Evacuation System Research was conducted by calculating the escape
time in each route, in the deck and outside the deck, by using the IMO Guidelines Intern MSC / Circ. 1238. Result of the
optimum evacuation time in each route was calculated and then compared with the IMO Interim Guidelines. Result of the
calculation of evacuation time by using the IMO Interim Guidelines in the afternoon was 37.92 minutes, while in the outside, at
night these are 42.92 minutes. While the results of using the evacuation route software, in the afternoon was 39.65 minutes,
and in the outside, at night was 44.64 minutes. So, it can be concluded that a solution for optimum evacuation in order to
optimize the access to the liferaft, the IMO Guidelines Intern MSC / Circ. 1238 should be added to the navigation deck and
passenger deck to minimize the risk of lost.
