Osbit and Seatools are to collaborate to develop offshore systems including active motion-compensated offshore access or ‘walk-to-work' gangways for the oil and gas and offshore renewables sectors. The collaboration has already delivered its first product innovation.
Building on Osbit's established passive telescopic gangways, MaXccess P-Series, the companies have combined their capabilities to develop the MaXccess AM-Series of active motion-compensated gangway systems. The MaXccess AM-Series unites the company's expertise in the provision of passive telescopic gangway systems with realtime, active control systems provided by Seatools, allowing AM-Series gangways to actively compensate for vessel motions and transfer personnel quickly and safely to a wide range of offshore structures.
