Design of the W-type gangway system for Ampelmann

Project Name: W-Type Electric Gangway System
Client: Ampelmann
Location: International Waters

Project overview

Enersea designed the W-type gangway system in close collaboration with Ampelmann’s engineering department, creating an advanced electric solution tailored for the Service Operation Vessel (SOV) market.

The W-type facilitates efficient personnel and cargo transfers at various heights, enhancing operational flexibility for offshore wind and other sectors requiring walk-to-work solutions. This project builds on Enersea’s prior work with Ampelmann, which includes designs for the A-type and L-type systems.

Enersea was responsible for

Integrated Tower and Gangway System

Adjustable from 10 to 16 meters.

Increased Width for Equipment Transfer

Designed for trolleys up to 750 kg.

Fully Electric System

Reducing the carbon footprint.

Integrated Elevator

Safe access with automated doors.

Project Significance

The W-type has attracted strong interest from offshore wind farm operators due to its smart, modular design and innovative features that improve operational efficiency.

Stage 2+ Project – A15 & B10 Development for Petrogas

Due to its expertise in developing small and economically challenging gas fields, Enersea was awarded the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) directly by Petrogas and the Detailed Design contract through a close cooperation with HSM.

Riser and Pipeline Design Electrified Gas Production Platform N05-A

The N05-A project will be a groundbreaking offshore gas production platform, to be situated in the Dutch sector of the North Sea and developed by ONE-Dyas.
