Claims (9)

1. Procedure for transporting a person using a device (100) from the first position in relation to the vessel (300) to the second position in relation to the vessel (300), which contains: - stand (110) which contains: • the base part (120) attached to the vessel (300); • the tilting part (130) which is hingedly connected to the base part (120) which allows turning the said tilting part (130) in relation to the base part (120) around the first axis (191); and • the base (140) rotatably connected to the tilting part (130) to enable the rotation of the base (140) in relation to the tilting part (130) around the second axis (192) which is transverse to the first axis (191); - an arm (150) which is defined by a first end (158) and a second end (159), which arm (150) is hinged with a base (140) to the first end (158) to allow the rotation of said arm (150) in relation to base (140) around the third axis (193) which is transverse to the first axis (191) and the second axis (192);° - a platform (160) for transporting people, which platform (160) is hinged to the other end (159) of the arm (150) to enable the rotation of the said platform (160) in relation to the arm (150); - actuators for controlling the base (110), arm (150) and platform (160); and - Control Unit - CU for controlling the device (100) by starting the actuator; wherein the person is transported by controlling the Control Unit CU to move the platform (160) from the first position to the second position and wherein the Movement Reference Unit - MRU (360) detects the movement of the vessel and sends it to the Control Unit - CU, which said CU compensates the movement of the platform caused by the movement vessel, wherein the arm (150) of the device (100) is telescopic and in the process the platform (160) is moved by the extension of said arm (150) along its longitudinal axis. 2. The method according to patent claim 1, characterized in that the CU is located on the platform (160) and the person being transported on the platform (160) controls said CU. 3. The method according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the platform (160) is located in at least one of the first or second positions relatively close to the structure and the platform (160) is anchored to the said structure. 4. Device (100) for transporting a person from the first position in relation to the vessel (300) to the second position in relation to the vessel (300), which device (100) contains - the stand (110) which contains • the base part (120) placed for fixing the stand (110) for the vessel (300); • tilting part (130) which is hingedly connected to the base part (120) to enable rotation of the tilting part (130) in relation to the base part (120) around the first axis (191); and • the base (140) rotatably connected to the tilting part (130) to enable rotation of the base (140) in relation to the tilting part (130) around the second axis (192) which is transverse to the first axis (191); - an arm (150) that defines a first end (158) and a second end (159), which arm (150) is hinged at the first end (158) with a base (140) to enable the rotation of said arm (150) in relation to the base (140) around the third axis (193) transverse to the first axis (191) and the second axis (192), indicated that - the platform (160) for transporting a person is hingedly connected to the other end (159) of the arm (150), which enables the rotation of the mentioned platform (160) in relation to the arm (150); - actuators for controlling the base (110), arm (150) and platform (160) in such a way that when the device (100) is attached to the vessel (300) the platform (160) can be moved relative to the said vessel (300); - Control unit - CU for controlling the device (100) to drive the actuator, the CU is set to cooperate with the Motion Reference Unit - MRU (360) to compensate for the movement of the platform caused by the movement of the vessel when the device (100) is in use; wherein the arm (150) contains at least two arm sections (151, 152, 153, 154) hinged one behind the other to rotate each of the arm sections (151, 152, 153, 154) relative to the previous one about an axis that is in be parallel to the third axis (193), where at least one of the two arm sections (151) of the arm (150) is extensible along its longitudinal axis. 5. Device (100) according to claim 4, characterized in that the CU is located on the platform (160). 6. Device (100) according to any one of claims 4 or 5, characterized in that the device (100) contains a device - MRU (361) which sends the movement of the vessel towards the CU. 7. A system comprising a device (100) according to any one of claims 4 to 6 and a vessel-MRU (360) for i) measuring the movement of the vessel and ii) sending a signal about the movement of the vessel to the CU of the device (100) to compensate for the movement of the platform caused by by the movement of the vessel when the device (100) is in use. 8. A vessel (300) containing a device (100) according to any one of claims 4 to 6 or a system according to claim 7, characterized in that the device (100) is fixed on the vessel (300) on the base part (120) of the base (110) . 9. Vessel (300) according to patent claim 8, characterized in that the tilting part (130) of the base (110) is set so that it can rotate around the first axis (191) by means of a further actuator located on the vessel (300), which further the actuator has a first end pivotally mounted on the vessel (300) and a second end pivotally mounted on the tilting part (130).
