Unlock Offshore Access Excellence: 6DOF vs 3DOF Gangways

Ampelmann’s motion-compensated gangways have revolutionized offshore access, offering unmatched safety, uptime, and adaptability across global marine environments. Whether you're operating in calm equatorial waters or the turbulent North Sea, our systems are engineered to perform

Why Degrees of Freedom Matter

6DOF Systems:

Powered by our signature hexapod technology, these gangways compensate for all vessel motions—heave, sway, surge, pitch, yaw, and roll. Ideal for high-performance operations in dynamic sea states, they ensure safe personnel and cargo transfers even in the most challenging conditions.

3DOF Systems:

Lightweight, electric, and tailored for specific vessel markets, these gangways offer reliable access in predictable environments. Perfect for smaller vessels and regional operations, they deliver high uptime with minimal footprint.
