 To complete the package an aluminium storage container was designed
by James Kerr to hold the man overboard cage, lifting straps
and associated guide ropes etc. This also protected the cage
from the elements and allows rapid and easy deployment of
the device in seconds.
The patent pending man overboard rescue cage and film footage
of the tests were shown for the first time to the general public
at the Fishing Exhibition in Glasgow on May of 2005 and generated
a huge amount of interest.

Rob Reid and North East Fabricators have continued to pursue
the commercialisation of the rescue cage, which is called ‘C
Rescue’. Already, several Scottish and Irish fishing
vessels have installed the rescue cage, some of whom say they
would not go to sea now without the device.
The rescue cage
was also demonstrated on-board an Ocean Tug at Shetland Oil
Terminal which culminated in the controlled rescue of a man
jumping into the cold water and being back on the ships deck
in under two minutes. Needless to say they purchased four
cages and after a demonstration for Peterhead Pilot Boat they
saw
the capabilities of the rescue equipment and also did not
hesitate in purchasing the device.
