The inventor Magnar Reigstad is the founder of Kloster Rescue Systems.
Kloster Rescue Systems™ will offer the maritime industry a unique and revolutionary rescue system that will make the evacuation of passengers and crew safe and secure in an efficient and controlled manner
We work for a safer life for everyone at sea, and have developed a lifeboat that improves all aspects of traditional solutions. You enter the lifeboat, safely and dry. The lifeboat is sent gently and comfortably out into the sea, regardless of the ship’s list. The lifeboat is equipped with several engines to create a safe distance to the ship and carry an inflatable ramp for further evacuation to a helicopter.

THE FOUNDER
Magnar Reigstad
Founder
Inventor and founder – Reigstad has a background as a boat designer, boat constructor and inventor, and ever since he lost a friend in the Alexander Kielland accident, he has been highly motivated on finding ways to improve safety at sea. After the Sleipner disaster, as well as the accident with the cruise ship MV Viking Sky at Hustadvika, he has worked on designing equipment that could have prevented or reduced the extent of all three of these accidents. Along the way, he constructed the famous Torpedolifeboat, which is the starting point for the complete evacuation system the company is working on at present.
