Introduction
This manual contains information for operating, maintaining and storing the FROG-XT4
personnel carrier. Appropriate training and pre-operational briefings should be provided for
all personnel involved in the use of this device.
Risk awareness and planning - Crane transfers (like other forms of marine transfer) are
complex operations and operators must take account of a wide range of operational
variables. By their nature they usually require the management of an interface between two
separate organisations (most frequently an installation operator and a vessel operator). It is
essential that all the key risk factors are taken into account and proper planning and
preparation is done and that all personnel involved are aware of their roles and have the
necessary competence to perform them.
Best practice references - Please refer to Offshore Personnel Transfer by Crane. This is a
separate document that contains comprehensive guidance and information on each element
of operation. It is for those researching, planning, managing or carrying out the safest
possible crane transfers.
10 Golden Rules: Personnel Transfer by Crane video also provides a useful overview of the
key risks and considerations in planning crane transfer operations.

2Operating Parameters
2.1 General
The FROG-XT range 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. A
combination of many factors will determine the risk involved and careful planning is a
prerequisite for safe operations (see Introduction)
2.1.1 Sea State
The FROG-XT4 has a suspension and damping system which prevents passengers from
experiencing shock loads up to relative landing of 4.5 m/s. The maximum recommended
significant wave height is based on the maximum relative velocity between the load (or
hook) and the deck.
The calculated operational sea states detailed below are based on vertical impact speeds
and bio-mechanical considerations. They reflect the ability to withstand such impacts with
minimal risk of injury to the human body. However, there are many additional factors that
may affect the safety of crane transfer operations. These include vessel station-keeping,
crew competence, wind and visibility. The operator should always refer to general guidelines
on crane transfers operations to assess overall risks.
Technical note:
The calculation for relative velocity used here is based on the European offshore crane standard,
BS EN 13852-1:2013. Whereby the maximum anticipated relative velocity between a load and a
vessel deck, is given by the following;
Relative velocity = (0.5*Hook velocity)1+ √ (Vessel deck velocity 2+ Boom tip velocity 2)
1Equal to 1.67 m/s (100 m/min) for lifts below 5 tonnes. Higher crane hook speeds may be available, and it
follows that the higher the available crane speed the higher the possibility of a heavy landing or take off.
However, with a qualified Crane Operator, it is considered unlikely that the FROG-XT will be landed at full
hook speed on a deck rising at full speed.
If there are concerns about heavy landings, operators may wish to consider the following methods to reduce
risks; dry runs without passengers, landing in centre of deck where there is less vessel movement,
transferring fewer passengers to increase damping, using a hook speed indicator.

Note:
▪Recommended Operating Limit - This is the envelope in which it would normally be considered safe subject to due consideration of other
risk factors.
▪XT4 Performance Limit - This envelope is defined by the performance limits of the capsule and the theoretical translation to significant
wave height by EN13852-1:2013. However, it is assumed that in such elevated sea states other risk factors may become
substantial. Operations should not normally be performed in this range without conducting a thorough risk assessment. Contact Reflex
Marine if you need assistance.
▪Outside operating Limit - It is not recommended - sea states are above the safe design envelope of the capsule.

2.3 Crane Transfer Planning Tool
We have developed a planning tool that can be used to determine whether the conditions
are suitable for transfers to take place.
Using the Crane Transfer Planning Tool
There are four main sections that need to be completed
i. Risk Assessment
ii. Pre-Transfer Checklist
iii. Passenger Log
iv. Post Transfer Review
The Crane Transfer Planning Tool can be found on the flash drive contained in your user
pack, or alternatively you can download a copy from our website.
It is important that the conditions are assessed prior to every set of transfers as conditions
are never exactly the same.
It is recommended that a trial run is always conducted as this provides real time feedback
on the conditions.
The operator should always refer to general guidelines on crane transfers operations to assess
overall risks.
If there is ever any concern about the conditions or the safety of the operations
transfers should be stopped.

3Using the FROG-XT
3.1 Safety Features
Protected Seating Position:
Seats are positioned directly behind the buoyancy panels providing maximum protection and
minimised sense of exposure. The arrangement of the seats and individual entry / exit
points allow rapid access and egress, allowing faster and more efficient transfers.
Fall Protection:
3-point harness system and grab handles protect from the risk of falling during transfer.
Vertical impact protection:
i. Seats mounted on a suspension system which consists of coil springs and recoil
dampers
ii. Semi-upright secure seat position, cushioned saddle seat
iii. Impact absorbing EVA foam feet
Lateral impact protection:
i. Stainless steel frame
ii. Buoyancy panels
iii. High backed headrest designed to reduce risk of whiplash
iv. Grab handles and pommel shaped seat cushion for secure seating position
Flotation:
Buoyancy panels ensure the carrier floats with both passengers and stretcher above the
water line. All XT transfer capsules are performance tested for the most extreme immersion
scenarios and self-right. All Frog-XT capsules self-rights up to 180° inverted to the vertical
position in less than 10 seconds and will provide a stable floating platform in a wide range of
conditions. Frog-XT capsules are also tested for their responses to free-fall into water.
3.2 Passenger Instructions
i. Enter carrier and take the seat to the left
ii. Fasten seat harness
iii. Keep hands and feet inside the carrier
iv. Hold the grab handles to keep body stabilised
v. Place feet onto the floor in front of the buoyancy panel
vi. Bear weight slightly onto feet in order to adopt a comfortable secure position
especially during landing and take-off

Rev 3.1 9 | P a g e
3.3 Entry and Exit
Passenger entry to and exit from 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.
Each individual seat has a dedicated entry / exit point to
prevent confusion and ensure an efficient operation. All
passengers must enter and exit from the same direction.
Chevrons on the buoyancy panels are present to indicate the
direction of entry.
Entry
When advised to do so by the deck crew, passengers should
proceed as directed to one of the four entrances (note trip
hazard). When instructed, all passengers should enter the
carrier and take the seat to their left.
Passengers should ensure they are securely seated and ensure
the seat harness is securely fastened. Grab handles are
provided on the tubular upright members either side of the
buoyancy panel and passengers should grip these firmly or the
harness straps whenever seated. Passengers should never
place their hands near the load plate.
Exit
Following landing and when advised to do so by the deck crew,
passengers should unfasten the safety harness, stand and exit
the carrier (note trip hazard) by the exit to their left.
Passengers should move clear of the carrier as directed by the
deck crew, ensuring they remain clear of the lifting assembly.
Passengers should remain alert to hazard posed by the sling
(particularly in harsh weather with high deck motions). The
sling position should be managed by the deck crew as required
(see Deck Crew Instructions).
Note: It is recommended that when used to transfer only one passenger, passenger should
be seated behind buoyancy panel A.

Rev 3.1 10 | P a g e
3.4 Deck Crew Instructions
Briefings
Deliver passenger briefings prior to every transfer lift and contain the following information:
i. Location specific instructions
ii. Loading and unloading procedures
iii. Emergency procedures
iv. Potential hazards
v. Seating position
Other Responsibilities
i. Highlight potential hazards to passengers e.g. trip hazards during entry/exit
ii. Remain alert from any hazards as they arise and take appropriate action
iii. Check that passengers’ harnesses are secure and correctly fitted
iv. When the carrier is in the static position on deck for passenger entry and exit, the
wire rope lifting assembly will be in a static position and may obstruct one or more of
the entry / exit points. Ensure passengers remain clear of the wire rope lifting
assembly. Deck crew may need to hold the lifting assembly in a safe position from
the carrier entrances.
v. Ensure passengers keep hands clear of any pinch points, as illustrated below.
Figure 1 Pinch Points
1. Keep hands away
from the load plate

Rev 3.1 11 | P a g e
3.5 Passenger Instructions
To make passenger entry more efficient, where possible, deck crew or passengers should
loosen all harnesses prior to entering the carrier.
All passengers should be familiar with seating procedure and practice entry prior to
operations.

4Insert stretcher into clamp
5Tighten thumbscrew
6Attach straps to anchor points
The stretcher clamp has been designed to fit the Ferno Model 71 Basket stretcher.
Please note that not all stretcher types will fit. The specific stretcher in use should be test
fitted prior to being used.

Rev 3.1 13 | P a g e
3.7 Carrying Luggage
Luggage may be transferred with passengers however 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.
The following recommendations should be considered when transferring luggage:
i. The weight of the passengers plus the luggage should not exceed the SWL.
ii. All luggage items should be handled by deck-crew, not passengers, to minimise the
time passengers spend in the hazardous zone.
iii. Items should be secured prior to passenger boarding and removed after passenger
exit.
iv. Small, individual, hand-carry items such as laptop bags may be secured directly
underneath a seat in one of two light luggage boxes. Items should not exceed 400
mm (w) x 300 mm (l) x 120 mm (h) (16” x 12” x 5”) and 5 kg (11 lbs) per item.
v. Larger luggage may be secured in under seat floor containers. It is recommended
that no more than 15 kg of luggage per person is loaded. Luggage should fit
comfortably in the containers provided and remain secure. Height of luggage placed
underneath seat should be restricted to 200 mm (8”) so that it will not impede the
damping system.
Figure 2 Luggage Height
vi. Heavy or large materials such as tools, boxes, or equipment should be transferred
separately in suitable cargo box or basket.

3.8 Lifting Assembly Connection
Figure 3 Lifting Assembly
Lifting assembly is fitted to the FROG-XT4
by initially lowering it through the letter
box opening at the top of the carrier.
The lifting assembly is fitted with two
different terminations. The main leg is
fitted with a bow shackle and the back-up
leg is fitted with a spelter socket.
The main leg connects to the centre hole
in the load plate and the backup leg
connects to either the far right or far left
hole.
A handling line can then be fitted to the
other free hole in the load plate

Rev 3.1 15 | P a g e
3.9 Control of Lifting Assembly
The FROG-XT4 is designed to stay firmly on the deck of the vessel whilst passengers are
entering or leaving the carrier. The Crane Operator must maintain slack in the line upon
landing to allow for the vessel movement.
A designated deck crew member should be in charge of managing the position of the lifting
assembly to ensure;
i. It remains clear of potential snagging points
ii. It does not encroach into the capsule
iii. It does not endanger passengers entering or exiting the capsule
iv. When lifting the capsule ensure the lifting assembly remain safely routed
vii. Only the designated deck crew, wearing appropriate PPE (i.e. gloves) should manage
the position of the slings.
Table 4 Control of lifting assembly
Parameter
Recommendation
Ideal Sling Length
The recommended limits in this section are based on the use
of the standard FROG-XT wire rope lifting assembly length of
30 ft (9 m).
Shorter Slings
For the use of shorter lifting assemblies an additional risk
assessment combined with dry runs should be performed to
establish safe operational routines and weather conditions.
Using a shorter sling set also increases risks associated with
the hook block being in close proximity to the capsule

4Inspection & Maintenance
Following the recommended procedures set out in this section will help to ensure safe
operation of the FROG-XT4.
4.1 Definitions
Transfer Lift
A transfer is defined as one pickup and put down when passengers are on board, or when
the unit carries more than its tare weight.
Usage Category
This is defined by the number of transfer lifts per year. There are four different usage
categories from low to very high.
Critical Parts
These are the identified set of load bearing parts.
Competent Person
A competent person is a person who has appropriate practical and theoretical knowledge
and experience of the equipment. This will enable them to detect defects and weaknesses
and to assess their importance in relation to the safety and continued use of the equipment.
It is recommended that the competent person is sufficiently independent and impartial to
allow objective decisions to be made.
Non-Destructive Testing
Although not considered necessary, some operators choose to carry out non-destructive
testing prior to any re-installation of a critical part.
If this is done, then a dye penetrant test should be used, as any other tests may produce a
false positive.
4.2 Care in use / Preventative maintenance
All components in the FROG-XT10 are designed for purpose and selected to be as durable as
possible for their specific function. However, operational and storage environments can
propagate deterioration if the equipment is not kept in good condition. Factors causing of
deterioration can include:
▪UV
▪Sea Spray
▪Dirt
▪Humidity/
▪Grease and chemical
▪Radiated heat
▪Wind
▪Handling and operational damage.
▪Sea water with high chlorine
content
▪High/ Excessive vibration
▪Mould growth

Rev 3.1 17 | P a g e
Components that may specifically be affected by one or a combination of these factors are:
Wire rope lifting assembly. The wire rope lifting assembly ‘sling’ is the most safety
critical and vulnerable component in the whole FROG assembly. It is vulnerable to
damage from handling and operations and susceptible to corrosion from sea spray and
moisture build-up. The lifting assembly should be inspected by a competent person prior
to every use. To prevent damage or corrosion the following is advised:
▪When not in use the lifting assembly is coiled and stored on the floor grating of the
FROG;
▪When not in use for long periods the lifting assembly should be removed from the
FROG, the cover removed, and stored in a secure, dry place;
▪If the FROG is kept on an open vessel deck and subject to sea spray, where possible,
keep equipment covered or keep in a deck area sheltered from sea spray. Note: for
high speed craft wind effects may cause covers to fray.
Seat damping springs. Sea spray, particularly on equipment that is kept on vessel open
deck, can propagate corrosion and cracking in the springs therefore the following is
advised in such situations:
▪Where possible equipment is covered or kept in a deck area sheltered from sea
spray. Note: for high speed craft wind effects may cause covers to fray;
▪Springs are washed down with fresh water at regular intervals, i.e. after each
voyage;
▪Springs are inspected regularly. Specific inspection recommendations for springs can
be found in the inspection checklist.
▪Protection grease may be used to coat springs to reduce onset of corrosion.
Seat harnesses. A combination of the factors listed above can cause deterioration of
the seat harnesses. These should be cleaned regularly with fresh water and mild
detergent. When stored the harnesses should be fastened so that they do not flap in the
wind. For longer durations of storage, it is recommended that the equipment is covered,
or the harnesses are secured with cable ties. Signs of damage will be fraying and brittle
webbing weave.
Landing feet. Heat radiated from deck can cause accelerated compression in the shock
mitigation foam landing feet. For periods where the FROG-XT4 is stored for long periods
it is recommended that the unit is chocked (raised) from the deck.
Transport and vibration. For longer periods of storage in environment with vibration,
and when equipment is transported, the threaded fixings on the unit should be inspected
to ensure no slackening has occurred.
General. The Frog-XT4 should be washed with fresh water regularly to prevent build-up
of salt, dirt, and any contaminants.

should include a visual inspection of the condition of each leg.
Post Load Test
Inspection
A careful and critical assessment of the components following a proof
load test. Carried out by a competent person without dismantling the
assembly.
All inspections should be:
i. Performed by a competent person
ii. Carried out as per the frequency indicated in the usage table
iii. Formally recorded
4.4 Frequency
The recommended frequency and type of inspection, test and maintenance is shown in
Table 7. (SEE OVER). Please note:
i. If any doubt exists regarding the usage, then the maintenance strategy should revert
to a more conservative higher usage category. This should also be considered if
there is any concern over heavy impacts or overloads.
ii. This recommendation applies to change out of components parts only and does not
replace or alter the inspection intervals as prescribed by the relevant legislation.
iii. The check, inspection, examination and test routine as detailed in this document
should always be carried out on schedule.
iv. Where the carrier has experienced heavy vertical or lateral impacts, or sustained
substantial damage, a detailed examination should be carried out to ensure integrity
before conducting any further lifts. Details of all damage should be recorded in a
damage report. Details of the cause of the damage should also be recorded, if known.

Rev 3.1 19 | P a g e
If damage to the frame has occurred, welds should be examined for cracks using dye
penetrant.
v. Details of all repairs or modifications carried out should be recorded and copies of
damage and repair / modifications reports should be sent to the party controlling the
use of the FROG-XT.
vi. Lifting assembly covers should be removed if the wire rope lifting assembly is
removed from service.
