Life safety lowering system for a vessel and method of operation

A method of transferring a load from a vessel to a surface with a safety system, the safety system comprising:

• a rod assembly about parallel to the surface having a movable proximal end, and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is anchored on the vessel;
• a rope having a first end, and a second end;
• a plurality of pulleys to support movement and change of direction of the rope, wherein the second end of the rope passes through the plurality of pulleys;
• a first carabiner coupled to the distal end of the rod assembly, wherein a first pulley of the plurality of pulleys is detachably coupled to the first carabiner to support the movement of the passing rope;
• a second carabiner coupled to the proximal end of the rod assembly to allow the rope to pass there through;
• a wire rope sling detachably coupled around one or more secure points on the vessel, wherein the wire rope sling has a snap hook and a steel O shaped ring;
• a third carabiner coupled to a second pulley of the plurality of pulleys to redirect the rope, wherein the wire rope sling secures the third carabiner through the steel O shaped ring connected to the snap hook;
• a descent control device for controlling the movement of the rope from the vessel to the surface, wherein the descent control device is coupled to a primary anchor point;
• a fourth carabiner to allow a first knotting of the partial first end of the rope;
• a chair assembly to receive the load, and coupled to the fourth carabiner to a pre-defined distance from the first end of the rope;
• and
• a hook unit configured with the fourth carabiner through the rope, wherein the hook unit allows a second knotting of the first end of the rope and is further detachably coupled to secure a harness in order to transfer the load from the vessel to the surface.
