General – Gangway
Ampelmann has sold its first W-type gangway system to offshore shipping company Olympic Offshore Wind AS.
The system will be installed on the Olympic Orion in early 2023 when the vessel will complete its conversion to a Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV).
Though this is not Ampelmann’s first engagement with the SOV/CSOV market, the W-type system, partially based on new technology, marks an important turning point in the company’s commitment to the renewable energy sector.
The height-adjustable gangway makes it an ideal tool to safely transfer crew and cargo from the vessel to different types of wind turbines.
