Crew Change

Ampelmann and Damen join forces

The combination of the Ampelmann S-type system and the Damen 7011 vessel is a solution for oil and gas (O&G) operators with multiple platforms and a high volume of crew changes, who want to reduce logistical costs and increase availability.

Unlike helicopter transfers, this solution allows for more cost-effective crew changes.

Crew Change off the coast of Nigeria

Ampelmann has been working with vessel owner L.A.T.C. Marine Limited, on behalf of ExxonMobil, for the supply of two L-type gangway systems to offshore Nigeria. The L-type is particularly suited to small crew change vessels and allows a continuous flow of up to 50 personnel every five minutes. Read more about it here.

Making personnel transfers in Brunei safer and more efficient

Ampelmann has been operating in Brunei for several years now, making it easier, safer and more efficient for end client Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) to transfer their personnel to offshore platforms and back.

Operations support in offshore oil and gas exploration

Our customer used to deploy helicopters for their Crew Change operations but this method was replaced by two fast crew vessels, fitted with Ampelmann A-type systems to service all their offshore platforms.The systems helped reduce operational expenses for this project by decreasing the need for helicopter transfers.
