This photograph shows one of three 1998-model Evacuation Craft exiting Parker Drilling's Sunkar exploration rig into the Caspian Sea during the winter of 2001.

These Craft carry 50 evacuees each and store diver quality compressed-air to provide life support and engine aspiration in case of sour-gas blowout or fire on sea conditions.

The Craft also have a fire spray system onboard to allow safe transit of fire on water.
