From the outset, the offshore oil and gas industry has used both air and marine transportation to move its workforce. Both transport alternatives carry risks, while serving the same essential purpose to transport personnel offshore in a safe, efficient manner. Historically, aviation has suffered from high numbers of fatal incidents,1 whereas injuries have been relatively low. By its nature, aviation incidents tend to have serious consequences. In contrast, marine transfer, which is performed most frequently using cranes, has suffered lower levels of fatalities,2 although injuries are commonplace.
