Uncompromising craftsmanship & superb quality
A personnel basket, also known as a transfer basket, ensures safe and efficient crew transfers between offshore installations, drilling rigs, and vessels. These robust safety baskets significantly enhance security during offshore personnel movements. Every basket features a non-collapsible frame made from durable AISI 316L stainless steel, equipped with shock-absorbing capabilities for maximum protection.
Our unique 1145-4-N basket has achieved the NORSOK R002:2017 approval and is fully certified according to this high standard by DNV.
Safe Transfer
In 1985, the Danish shipping company ESVAGT A/S. developed the first Safe Transfer personnel basket. Its success led ESVAGT to transfer production rights to West-Marine A/S in 2014. That same year, Safe Transfer A/S was founded with a clear mission: to further develop and improve the safety basket’s design for offshore crew transfers.
Today, we continuously innovate and refine our offshore personnel baskets through dedicated research and development. Our goal is to keep setting new standards for offshore transfer safety.
Offshore crew transfers made safe
A safe crew transfer is essential in offshore marine operations. The personnel transfer basket offers a safe, fast, and cost-effective solution when moving personnel between ships and offshore platforms. Our range includes rigid standing baskets, seated baskets, and even stretchers for emergency transfers — all designed with safety as the top priority.
Offshore safety basket is key
Crew transfer is often seen in offshore marine activities, particularly at the oil rigs and offshore installations. A personnel transfer basket is designed for marine offshore transfer with the overall purpose of enhancing safety levels for personnel being lifted between ship and platform.
Development of this personnel basket now comprises a rigid seated basket – even with the possibility of accommodating stretchers.
