Scrambling Net

Scrambling Net for Marine Rescue Operations

A scrambling net is an essential marine rescue and recovery equipment used to assist people in climbing back onto a vessel from the water. It is commonly installed on standby vessels, rescue boats and other marine vessels to support man-overboard recovery operations.

Designed for emergency use, the scrambling net provides a flexible rope climbing arrangement that allows a person in distress to grip the ropes and climb towards the vessel’s deck or designated recovery point. Its construction typically includes strong polypropylene ropes and wooden spreaders positioned at the top and bottom to help maintain the net’s shape and stability.

DJK Marine supplies marine scrambling nets designed for man-overboard recovery applications, supporting standby vessels, rescue operations and marine safety requirements.

Construction and Design

A marine scrambling net is generally manufactured using strong polypropylene rope arranged in a net configuration. Wooden spreaders are fitted at the top and bottom to help maintain the net’s shape and provide a more organised climbing arrangement.

The flexible construction allows the net to be deployed at the vessel’s side, providing a means for a person in the water to climb towards a safe boarding point.

The correct net dimensions, rope construction, spreader arrangement and installation method should be selected according to the vessel’s rescue procedure and manufacturer’s specifications.
