As the offshore energy sector grows, the need for fire-retardant lifejackets in maritime safety becomes crucial. With employment in this sector projected to rise by nearly 50%, stringent safety measures are essential. The increasing demand for offshore wind projects and the reliance on oil and gas industries highlight the necessity for crucial safety protocols to protect workers in hazardous environments.

 
In this article, we explore our current range of fire-retardant lifejackets from top brands like Crewsaver, Besto, and Mullion. Illustrating how each model offers unique features to meet the demanding needs of offshore energy operations. As the industry evolves, the reliance on such protective gear becomes increasingly important, reinforcing their role as a key component of safety protocols.

In this article, we discuss the use of pilot ladders – essential tools for safe vessel transfers. Going into detail about their crucial role as maritme personnel / crew transfer equiment, the rules they follow, and the challenges they face. We'll explore pilot ladder operations, analyise potential incidents, and offer strategies to enhance crew safety whilst using pilot ladders. Drawing on information set out by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), SOLAS Convention , the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO), SOLAS, and more. 

Starting from 1 January 2023, new requirements apply to all UK flagged vessels, including merchant ships, commercial vessels, leisure craft, and fishing vessels.
