Ampelmann introduces the A-type Enhanced Performance motion compensated gangway to support work in higher sea states

Press release

A^EP offers improved workability and flexibility for the offshore industry

Ampelmann has announced the launch of its latest gangway for personnel transfer: the A-type Enhanced Performace (A^EP). Now providing clients with 10% greater workability in sea states up to 4m significant wave height; the A^EP also has the ability to use smaller vessels to obtain similar performance (compared to current A-type).

The A^EP features an advanced motion compensation control system with precision controls to enable fast landing and comfortable people transfers. The system significantly improves operational up-time on projects year-round and provides benefits to operators in rougher waters, including the North Sea and the coasts of South America and the Middle East.

The A^EP can also be used to ensure comparable workability on a relatively small vessel, where bigger vessels were needed before, saving cost for Ampelmann’s client by allowing flexibility in positioning on the vessel.
