FROG Personnel Transfer Capsule
The Frog ™ Capsule from Reflex Marine Ltd provides the industry with a significantly safer means of transferring personnel offshore by crane and can transport up to three people at a time.
The capsule protects crews from the major hazards of marine personnel transfer – falling, whiplash, lateral and vertical impacts. In the past five years the Frog has been established as the premium choice for marine personnel transfers.
The Frog has
- a robust stainless steel frame with an inner spring-dampened seating assembly mounted on a central column
- three landing feet with anti-skid design which provide extra shock protection to protect passengers
- a very low centre of gravity - this helps when landing on a heaving vessel and on uneven surfaces
- excellent floating and self-righting capabilities if immersed in water
- easy conversion into ‘Marine Ambulance’ mode
- CE approval

The Frog is used by most of the major international Oil and Gas operators and sub-contractors. Amongst others, BP, Shell, GlobalSantaFe, Statoil, J Ray McDermott, ConocoPhillips, Petro-Canada, Prosafe, Transocean and Woodside use the Frog in a variety of countries around the world.
Sparrows Offshore not only supply the Frog, but can provide maintenance and training packages. Sparrows operate a half day training course using a Frog either on-or offshore.
All of the Sparrows Offshore supplied equipment come with warranty and service support, tailored to suit client requirements.
