A survival craft 10 for a marine structure comprises a rigid hull 11 containing a propulsion unit (16, Fig 3), and carrying at least one inflatable life raft 27 and 28. When the survival craft is launched from the structure onto the water, the at least one life raft is deployed. Passages 51 and 52) are provided between the survival craft and the at least one life raft so that the at least one life raft is integrated with the survival craft and people can transfer from the structure to the at least one life raft and pass easily between the survival craft and the at least one life raft. The propulsion unit may then be used to move the at least one life raft clear of the structure. A marine escape system for mounting on a marine structure and comprising a housing (65, Fig 11) containing a survival craft in which the survival craft can be moved outwardly of the housing on deployment into water is also disclosed.
