Offshore crane access specialist Reflex Marine, is showing off its fully developed Frog-XT transfer device for the first time at Offshore Europe.
Although it had the prototype at OE in 2013, it now has the finished product to present.
The company is best known for its transfer devices, the Frog and Toro.
Chief executive Philip Strong, said: “Marine based transfer, involving vessels and personnel capsules lifted by crane, can be a cost-effective and safe alternative to air-based methods of transportation.”
With a choice of four, six and 10 person capacity devices, the FROG-XT can be converted to MedEvac mode in the case of an emergency to transfer a casualty and accompanying passenger.
Testing was conducted both at Reflex Marine’s facility at Barcelona Harbour and at NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston, Texas.
The devices are used for a variety of applications including routine, high volume and contingency personnel transfer operations.
