Personnel Transfer Modification
Rapidly emerged as a global leader
Shaping the Future of Marine Crane Engineering - Zenith MarineTech
Personnel transfer system
Zenith Marinetech Ltd provides specialized Personnel Transfer System(PTS) modification and installation services for hose handling cranes, enhancing safety, functionality, and regulatory compliance during crew and technician movements in offshore and port operations.
Adapting Cranes for Safe Human Transfer
The integration of a Personal Transfer System(PTS) is increasingly being recognized as a critical safety feature. It ensures the safe and efficient transfer of ship personnel, officials, and third-party individuals. In many instances, the absence of a PTS has led to the delay or cancellation of voyages, resulting in substantial financial losses. Therefore, its inclusion is not only a matter of safety compliance but also of operational and financial importance. Our expert team modifies and equips existing hose handling cranes to meet the stringent safety standards necessary for personnel lifting.
