- Press release: Reflex Marine is proud to announce that it has joined DeepWind, a Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Scottish Enterprise led initiative developing a new offshore wind supply chain cluster in the North of Scotland.
One of eight clusters formed under the Offshore Wind Sector Deal, DeepWind focuses on deep water fixed bottom offshore wind technologies and will also act as the lead cluster for floating offshore wind in the UK.
Strategy Manager at Reflex Marine, Alun Jones, commented “Reflex Marine is a well established name in the offshore wind space, particularly in Europe, but in Asia as well. Our offshore crew access equipment and solutions have been used since 2003 by our clients and offshore wind market partners like Seaway 7, ENGIE, DEME GROUP, Ørsted, TenneT, Jan de Nul N.V. and many others. We are proud to be a part of continuously growing green energy projects and developments and we are looking forward to working together with other companies to help develop a more sustainable and less carbon heavy energy future.”
Reflex Marine’s personnel crew transfer equipment WAVE-4 proved to be a safe and versatile option for offshore crew transfer during all lifecycle phases of the offshore wind farms. WAVE-4 is a proud winner of Safety At Sea Seatrade Award. WAVE-4 brings all the benefits of a seated transfer carrier to a product for standing passengers. It safely transports four standing passengers and has the smallest footprint of any standing transfer rigid carrier on the market.
For inspection & maintenance activities at height, Reflex Marine’s STORM-WORK soft-contact work basket is the best choice for work near fragile structures such as the wind turbine blades. Winner of the LEEA Safety Awards in 2019 STORM-WORK is a work basket that provides you with an ergonomic work space for safely carrying out a wide range of tasks such as inspections, painting and repair work.
