Reflex Marine Gains LEEA Development Member Status
Reflex Marine, one of the leaders in safe marine transfer solutions to the offshore, marine and renewables industries, is continuing to strive towards excellence in safety by being awarded with the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) development member status.
LEEA is the leading authoritative representative body for the lifting industry across the globe. Having surpassed the LEEA technical audit, the marine transfer company will benefit from access to LEEA’s high quality training and qualifications, independent auditing and accreditations as well as expert technical advice and representation.
With the industry increasingly looking at improving safety practices, LEEA is a powerful voice for the lifting industry and is actively involved in the development of national and international standards and regulations.
The accreditation is timely with the recent release of Reflex Marine’s brand new product range: the FROG-XT, designed to address all of the main risks involved in marine personnel transfer.
The company’s clients work in the most demanding conditions and have a duty of care to transfer their personnel safely, to and from, their offshore work places. At times they face difficult operational scenarios and may have to respond to emergency situations.
The range was designed and built with the client in mind and has been developed with more than 20 years of experience, over 800 transfer devices operating globally, and with an estimated one million safe transfers performed using the capsules every year.
Philip Strong, CEO of Reflex Marine said: “Crew transfer operations have evolved over the years and the FROG-XT is the product of many years of research and experience of working with operators throughout the world.
“Reflex Marine has set new standards and expectations for the industry, changing the perspective of crew transfer from being seen as inherently high-risk, to being accepted as a manageable activity that can be performed safely and cost effectively to ensure continuity in offshore operations, either in day-to-day transfers or as a contingency arrangement.
“Our positive results relate to our roots in innovating and introducing products that were far ahead of methods being used at the time, both in terms of technology and accepted practices. This culture of innovation and drive to raise standards further continues with our design team who have developed the FROG-XT.”
Reflex Marine is now looking to gain full membership of LEEA within the next two years and further expand the reach of the LEEA accreditation to that of its training courses.
