    MARRS Offshore
    FRP Handrail Systems

    4.2 kilometres of fire integrity type approved MARRS offshore handrails


    were installed on BP’s Clair Ridge platform, North Sea, UK

    Bondstrand™ MARRS™ offshore is a unique fire integrity type approved patented Fire Integrity Type Approval
    phenolic fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) handrail system designed and developed to World first ABS Type Approval permits use in service
    specifically meet the required strength, toughness, fire reaction performance and and locations where fire integrity is required.
    safety properties demanded in offshore oil and gas installations.

    MARRS offshore is significantly lower weight than steel equivalents and is highly Advantages
    corrosion resistant, with a design life of over 40 years offshore. These benefits • Non-conductive
    provide substantial whole life cost savings, with significant OPEX cost reductions
    and often CAPEX cost savings. • Lightweight

    MARRS offshore is compliant to onerous NORSOK, BS and ASTM standards, is • Fast to install
    ABS Type Approved and has been awarded Type Examination Certificate by DNV. • Low maintenance
    It is manufactured from proven phenolic FRP materials, comprising patented
    phenolic FRP connection components and structural profiles. It provides overall • Pre-fabricated off-site
    risk reduction with through life integrity, continuous handgrip and low heat • Strong and durable
    conduction (to address freeze burn risk).
