Swift

Lloyd's Register Type Approved man-overboard rescue conveyor that recovers a casualty in under 20 seconds, operable by one crew member.

Description

Swift is a man-overboard rescue conveyor developed by experienced search and rescue professionals to recover casualties from the water quickly and with minimal injury risk. The conveyor floats with the waves, reducing crush hazards and enabling controlled, repeatable recoveries in flat calm and harsh sea states. A single operator can recover a conscious or unconscious casualty; Zelim states Swift is up to twenty times faster than conventional recovery methods.
