    2 Operating Parameters 2.1 General The FROG-XT10 has been designed to ensure passenger safety in the most demanding conditions. There are a large number of factors that affect the safe conduct of marine personnel transfers. These include: crew skill and experience, met-ocean conditions, landing areas, vessel station keeping capability and response to sea conditions, visibility and line of sight.

    3 Using the FROG-XT10 3.1 Safety Features Protected Seating Position: Seats are positioned behind the buoyancy panels and framework. This provides maximum protection and minimises sense of exposure. The arrangement of the seats and individual entry / exit points allow rapid access and egress, allowing faster and more efficient transfers.

  • Page 10: Entry And Exit

    3.3 Entry and Exit Passenger entry and exit should only be conducted with the carrier in a stable position on deck as advised by the crane operator to the deck crew member in charge of the transfer operation. Note: All exiting passengers must be clear of the carrier before any new passengers attempt to board.

  • Page 11: Passenger Flow

    3.4 Passenger Flow Passengers can be loaded into the FROG-XT10 using either the different coloured harnesses or by using the seat numbering. 3.4.1 Seat Harness Colours 6 or Less Passengers When loading passengers should be seated in the 6 end seats (3 at either end). This will ensure faster loading times as each passenger will have their own dedicated entrance.
  • Page 12 3.4.2 Seat Numbering In order to perform loading efficiently and safely, the following procedures are recommended: Organise the passengers into groups of 10 (see note). Confirm that passenger and luggage weight does not exceed the SWL of the carrier. Split the passengers into three groups and assign each passenger a seat number Group A: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 Group B: 7 and 8 Group C: 9 and 10...

  • Page 16 3.7.2 Stretcher Positioning The clamp channel has been designed to fit the Ferno Basket stretcher. However the clamp channel can be adjusted in height to accommodate the use of alternative stretcher types. Please note that not all stretcher types will fit. The clamp should be checked and adjusted to fit the specific stretcher type in use prior to operation.
  • Page 17 3.7.3 Securing the Stretcher 1. Loosen the clamp thumbscrew, then pass the clamp through the hand hold in the stretcher 2. Turn clamp 90 degrees with folded edge upwards 3. Tighten clamp with thumb screw – this should be tight enough to prevent the stretcher from sliding longitudinally.
  • Page 18 3.7.4 Seating Arrangement When using the FROG-XT10 in stretcher mode it is advised to keep the carrier evenly balanced, however it is understood that it is not always possible. The below images detail how to load the FROG-XT10 when in stretcher mode. 1 Stretcher When transporting only one stretcher up to 3 additional passengers may travel in the FROG- XT10.

  • Page 19: Carrying Luggage

    3.8 Carrying Luggage Luggage may be transferred with passengers, however Reflex Marine recommend where practical, passenger luggage should be transferred separately in a cargo box or basket. This will minimise the risks from carrying out additional procedures whilst transferring personnel. Two types of luggage containers are available as accessories: an under-seat light luggage box for small handheld items or under-seat floor containers for larger kit bags.
