Due to the marine accidents of passenger ships such as Herald of Free Enterprise
and the Estonia that resulting in a major loss to the property, the marine environment
and lives has concerned the IMO. For the safety purposes, IMO has introduced a
series of guidelines for high speed craft, new and existing passenger ship to
undertake evacuation analysis in the first stage of the design. In this paper, an
evacuation model software, Pathfinder, usually used for the building sectors are
described and used for the basis for the development of coastal passenger vessel
evacuation model. The evacuation scenarios used for evacuation analysis simulation
was described in detail in the paper. The result from the first simulation was reviewed
and used to run second simulation after manipulating few factors affecting the
performance for improvement. This paper concludes the evacuation simulation
performance of existing coastal passenger vessel in Malaysia and improvement made
on vessels.
