Award winning Offshore Access System
Offshore Solutions BV (OSBV), the joint venture between AMEC and Cofely Nederland NV, received a Hart’s Special Meritorious Awards for Engineering at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston earlier this month.
The award was presented to Offshore Solutions as winner of the facilities category for its Offshore Access System (OAS).
The OAS is a 21m, hydraulically operated, telescopic gangway, fitted with an active heave compensation system, enabling the safe transfer of personnel from a vessel to an offshore installation. When engaged, a motion reference unit in its active hydraulic system maintains the walkway tip at a constant height relative to the horizon. This allows the walkway to be connected safely in sea states up to 3m significant wave height.
