A marine transfer system (1) for securing a marine vessel (2) to a structure (4), the marine transfer system (1) comprising: a platform assembly (6) configured to carry personnel and/or materials; a bumper member (8) configured to contact the structure (4); a gripping assembly (10) configured to selectively engage the structure (4) to secure the marine transfer system (1) to the structure (4); a gangway assembly (18) configured to carry personnel and/or materials; and a support assembly (20) configured to support the gangway assembly (18) and permit vertical movement with respect to the marine vessel (2). The gripping assembly (10) is further configured such that when an upward force is applied to the platform assembly (6), the gripping assembly (10) is able to slide upwards with respect to the structure (4) and when the upward force is not applied to the platform assembly (6), the gripping assembly (10) grips the structure (4) and prevents downwards movement of the gripping assembly (10) with respect to the structure (4). |
