Reflex Marine, a specialist in offshore personnel access by crane, will exhibit its FROG-XT transfer device range for the first time at the 41st SPE Offshore Europe Conference & Exhibition from the September 8-11 in Aberdeen.
Having unveiled the prototype in at OE in 2013, Reflex Marine will now show the finished product at this years’ show.
The FROG-XT offers operators a flexible solution to their personnel transfer needs with a choice of four-, six- and 10-person capacity devices. The device can also be converted to MedEvac mode in the case of an emergency to transfer a casualty and accompanying passenger.
The FROG-XT personnel transfer device is designed to protect from key risks associated with crane transfer. The range has undergone a rigorous testing program including full-scale immersion, self-righting, impact and free-fall testing, Reflex Marine said. Testing was conducted both at Reflex Marine’s facility at Barcelona Harbor and at NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston.
Since the launch of the product in 2014, there are already devices in operation in more than 28 countries. The devices are used for a variety of applications including routine, high volume and contingency personnel transfer operations.
