A transfer system using a small waterplane area twin hull vessel (SWATH) and high-wire rigging has been developed by Rauma-Repola of Rauma, Finland as an alternative to helicopter movement of personnel and light cargo in the North Sea. The SWATH is used because it has better seakeeping characteristics than regular supply boats. With the large number of platform workers transported in such a vessel, the developers contend there are now sufficient platforms to make such transfer systems economic. The system, a modification of one used between ships at sea since 1969, is described.
