Dutch firm Ampelmann has installed one of its gangways on a vessel involved in the decommissioning of a North Sea platform.
The Olympic Orion vessel is helping prepare Spirit Energy’s Audrey platform for decommissioning.
Ampelmann’s E-type system has been used in more than 300,000 safe crew transfers in the oil and gas industry.
Lorenz Nehring, business development manager, Aberdeen, said: “We have identified decommissioning as a key sector of interest and it’s great to see that there is an increasing need for fully motion compensated gangway systems, not only in our traditional personnel transfer offering, but also for innovative vessel-based life support solutions.”
This is not the first time Ampelmann has been involved in a decommissioning project.
In 2017, the company worked with Boskalis to help prepare for the decommissioning of the Leman platform in the southern North Sea.
