Rig Transfer

I worked on a rig for a while but in the gulf of Thailand .On the outward journey I went by ship ,very comfortable seating ,tv etc only when we got there transfer was by a device the name I forget that was basically a round platform (3mtr)with netting above attached to a crane on the rig,you put your bag on the inside of the net and hang on to the outside and whoosh!!The crane lifts you up to the deck of the rig 60/70 feet up!!
Now how will they transfer in the North sea with a gale or the big waves usually seen?
