Sets the standard in Marine Personnel Transfer
 

Reflex Marine launched the high capacity Frog-6, capable of carrying 6 persons, in 2007 and this has since been adopted by companies such as BP, Sakhalin Energy, Transocean and ConocoPhillips. 

Andrew Fendt, the OIM on the Lunskoye-A is very pleased with the plaforms new acquisition and said:

"It has revolutionised our safety-critical daily vessel transfer operations".
 

The Frog transfer capsule is designed to minimise the risk involved in crane assisted personnel transfers - it is established in the offshore industry and has been used to carry out over a million passenger transfers.  When the Frog was launched in 1994, Reflex Marine set a new standard in marine personnel transfer.

This section explains the approach taken to reduce the risks associated with transfer operations and how the Frog provides comprehensive protection and excellent long term value.

The Frog targets the main hazards associated with Marine Personnel Transfers, namely the risk of personnel falling, vertical impacts (heavy landings), lateral impacts and immersion in water. For more information please visit our Operational Information section.

 

Vertical Impact Protection

The Frog’s full bucket seats are attached to a sprung-mounted seat base. This, combined with the shock-absorbing feet provides complete protection to passengers in landings up to 4m/s.
 

Track Record & Applications

The Frog has now been extensively used by most major oil companies in diverse conditions. Millions of routine transfers have been performed around the world, including high profile projects in the Atlantic Frontier, North Sea, Mediterranean, Canada, South East Asia, Australia, Russia and the Caspian Sea. It has also gained a reputation as a highly effective low cost down-manning/evacuation tool.
