A personnel transfer device includes a base, a top, a plurality of generally peripherally-disposed cables extending between the base and the top, a generally centrally-disposed support column coupled between the base and the top for maintaining a generally-fixed distance between the base and the top and for providing tension in the plurality of generally peripherally-disposed cables extending between the base and the top, and a heave compensator configured to provide damping of motion of a first end thereof relative to a second end thereof, the heave compensator disposed generally longitudinally within a lateral extent of the generally centrally-disposed support column. In some embodiments, the first end of the heave compensator is attached to the generally centrally-disposed support column, and the second end of the heave compensator is configured for coupling to a master link assembly for lifting of the personnel transfer device.
