Marine based crew logistics is on the rise; with operators in many areas of the world switching from helicopters to vessels. In a cost sensitive world this represents a huge opportunity to marine contractors.
Personnel transfer by crane is used in the maritime industry for ship to ship and ship to shore operations. This could be for routine operational transfers such as moving surveyors, mooring personnel and superintendents, or providing access to the port or terminal.
Reflex Marine’s technologies and hands on operational approach have helped operators around the globe to radically reduce the risks associated with marine based personnel transfers.
Tim Salmon, General Manager at Reflex Marine will be discussing the role of personnel transfer by crane and how associated risks can be mitigated, on Thursday 17th March at 15:55 at the International Forum on Ship to Ship Transfer Operations 2016.
International Forum on Ship to Ship transfer operations 2016 (IFSTS)
As detailed on the event website, 'the scope of the seminar is to present and consolidate industry’s view on the Risk Profile of Ship to Ship operations. The risk of STS operations will be analysed and risk mitigation measures, along with industry best practices, will be proposed'. For more information on the event and panel members please visit the website.
The organisers said, 'considering that safe operations benefit all involved parties, IFSTS2016 will focus on bringing all the relevant parties together in order to discuss and comment on issues regarding the induced risks, as well as best practices.'
