Reflex Marine’s crew transfer equipment is designed and developed to the highest safety standard. The design derived from an extensive, risk-based review of crane transfer operations. Prototypes are submitted to rigorous testing and verification programme performed on personnel crane transfer equipment.

Safety by design

FROG design addresses four main key risks associated with crew changes using cranes. Seats and quick release seat belts eliminate the risk of people falling out mid-transfer, shock-absorbing feet and suspension system protect against heavy landings and ensure safe and stable dismounting for the crew, polyurethane foam-filled buoyancy guarantees the FROG will float and self right if immersed in water and together with the stainless steel frame protects against side impacts. FROG transfer devices are able to transport between four and ten persons. They provide overhead protection and have a luggage storage area on a non-slip floor.

MedEvac, emergency evacuation, harsh weather and low visibility

FROG-XT range of crew transfer devices and WAVE-4 transfer devices can be easily converted to MedEvac mode in a matter of minutes and make for the safest way to transfer an injured person in an emergency situation. All Reflex Marine crew transfer equipment perform exceedingly well in operational scenarios involving harsh weather, low visibility including fog or smoke, high winds or turbulent sea states. FROG-XT superior operating envelope allows for equipment to be used in circumstances with a significant wave height of up to 4m and wind speed of up to 40 knots.

Arctic weather conditions

FROG, FROG-XT and WAVE-4 crew transfer devices perform exceedingly well in sub-zero temperatures going as far as -40 C. Reflex Marine’s equipment is being used in Norway, Canada, Sweden and Russia, including for projects such as Sakhalin I and II and Yamal.
