Offshore Wind
An increased demand for clean energy drives the offshore wind market forward, with new wind parks being built across the globe. The commissioning, installation and maintenance of these wind parks require safe and reliable means for offshore access. Ampelmann supports the growth of the offshore wind market and the work of its key stakeholders by providing the highest level of safety and efficiency in accessing platforms offshore.
Fully motion compensated cargo transfers up to 5t
Fully motion compensated lifting of up to 900t
Fastest connection time in the industry
98% technical availability through 24/7 support
With its years-long track record in the industry and a fleet of over 65 systems, Ampelmann can support a wide range of operations – from the commissioning and development of offshore wind farms, to maintenance.
Our core technology and experience in motion compensation enable the safe and efficient transfer of both personnel and cargo, even in high sea states.
Floating offshore wind
Ampelmann also has experience in floating offshore wind access operations. With several projects completed in the past and more on the way, the company has worked in sea states above 3m Hs and has helped transfer around 1,000+ personnel and over 17,000kg of cargo to floating wind farms.
Floating offshore wind is growing in prominence as it offers new possibilities for companies to harvest green energy globally. First commercial projects are expected to start in 2022 and the global potential of floating wind is to have 20 – 30 GW of installed capacity by 2030.
Ampelmann's hexapod technology is perfectly suited to compensate for the motions of two moving objects on the open sea. With safe and efficient access floating offshore wind has even more room to grow.
Integrated W2W system for SOVs
The growth in offshore wind leads to an increased demand for Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) and these, too, require safe and efficient offshore access. Close to 30 SOVs will be built in the next 10 years and each of them will be looking to leverage the right W2W solution.
With its new W-type system, Ampelmann is ready to cater to the specific needs of offshore wind operators - from high operational efficiency to safe working at varying heights.
