Section 11 Transfer of personnel

11.1 General

11.1.1 Arrangements for the transfer of personnel are to be in accordance with a specified standard.

11.1.2 Unless specified, only manually powered equipment is to be installed for the transfer of personnel.

11.1.3 The design of arrangements for personnel is to provide sufficient space for the large numbers of crew normally required to operate the transfer equipment, typically 25 personnel to tension the rig on a receiving ship.

11.1.4 The mechanical devices used in the tensioning of any rigging and the transfer chair together with all transfer gear are to be of a proven safe design suitable for the purpose. The arrangements are to be such that when conducting a light jackstay transfer from a sliding pad-eye, the height of the pad-eye can be raised/lowered to facilitate the connecting/disconnecting process, but is to remain at a suitable fixed height during the actual transfer.
