Jason's Cradle

Jason’s Cradle is the globally recognized standard for Man Overboard (MOB) retrieval systems. Manufactured by Land and Marine Products Ltd in Dorset, UK, the company has spent over 20 years perfecting the art of marine rescue. Jason’s Cradle has become an essential safety fixture on commercial vessels, military warships, and rescue craft worldwide, credited with saving countless lives in the most hostile sea conditions.

As a specialist in marine safety, Jason’s Cradle offers a unique modular system designed to retrieve casualties quickly and safely. Their signature product is particularly noteworthy for its ability to recover a person in the medically preferred horizontal position. This horizontal lift is critical in preventing “Circum Rescue Collapse” (or hydrostatic squeeze), a potentially fatal condition that can occur if a hypothermic casualty is hoisted vertically.

In addition to the standard hull-mounted cradle, the company manufactures specific kits for Fast Rescue Craft (FRC) and “Scramble Nets” for high-sided vessels. The equipment is constructed from high-tensile Delrin plastic and 316 marine-grade stainless steel, ensuring it remains corrosion-free and ready for deployment even after years of exposure to salt water and UV radiation. Whether used as a scramble net for able-bodied crew or a rescue scoop for unconscious casualties, Jason’s Cradle is fully SOLAS type-approved and trusted by the world’s leading navies.
