Petrobas Adopts Reflex Marine’s Frog-6

Reflex Marine supplied two six-person FROGs to Brazil’s national operator Petrobras. The sale follows Reflex Marine’s certification by Brazil’s Directoria de Portos e Costas (DPC) and will aid Petrobras in improving the safety of offshore operations in the region.
 
The FROGs will come into service in North-East Brazil in early 2015. Petrobras personnel will be fully trained using the six person FROG-6 devices by Reflex Marine’s Brazilian partner Sparrows BSM in Macaé.

"We believe that this sale is a significant step for Brazil’s offshore oil and gas industry," said Carol Richards, Reflex Marine’s sales manager for Brazil. "Petrobras will use the same system for the safe crane transfer of personnel as other operators working in deep and ultra-deep waters worldwide. Reflex Marine and our Brazilian partners SparrowsBSM are committed to supporting Petrobras in adoption of the safest personnel transfer device on the market.”
