Recovery cradle gets scaled-up version

摘要

The Fibrelight mass casualty recovery (MCR) cradle, which is produced and distributed by CQC, has been designed to meet changing customer and safety requirements. These changes have come about in operations, primarily in the North Sea, and are centred on SOLAS Regulation 111/17-1. This requires plans and procedures for the recovery of persons from the water while minimising the risk to crew, and include the manning of rescue craft in adverse conditions. Aware of Fibrelight's established Recovery Cradle, which has a typical width of 1.3 m and a length of 2-7 m, oil rig and turbine support vessel operators asked Fibrelight to develop a larger version, for deployment directly from rigs and support vessels when sea conditions make it unsafe for the launch of smaller rescue craft.
