Personnel Transfer Bridge

The CraneSafeTM Personnel Transfer Bridge (PTB) is primarily used for the safe transit of personnel during connected conditions between tender or FPSO vessels and fixed platforms or floating vessels (such as tension leg platforms or spars).

  • Enables easy connection/disconnection from the structure
  • Compensates for relative motion
  • Provides a conduit for safe transfer of personnel between two structures

CraneSafe is the leader in Personnel Transfer products in the Asia Pacific region.

CraneSafe prides itself on ensuring weight and overall envelope size are kept to a minimum.

The PTB is an alternative to the fixed Personnel Access Ramp (PAR), which is utilized extensively in more benign water environments.
