Markus FRC nets are designed to retrieve a MOB, either enabling a conscious MOB to climb aboard, or an unconscious MOB to be rolled par buckle onboard in a horizontal position. There is a new IMO standard (III/-17) for the retrieval of persons in the water. This standard will soon affect most operations, SOLAS vessels, passenger vessels, and commercial vessels carrying more than 12 persons, and including FRCs (Fast Rescue Craft).
