With a doubling of the fleet every year since 2008, Ampelmann currently operates 40 systems world-wide, enabling the safe transfer of personnel from various types of vessels to offshore oil & gas platforms, offshore wind turbines, FPSO’s and all other fixed and floating structures at sea. Ampelmann’s base model is the A-type. The platform has 2m stroke cylinders and gangways of 20 and 25m maximum reach. The E-type, with 3m stroke cylinders can carry up to 100 tons of payload. It can be fitted with standard A-type gangways and client-specific gangway and crane types reaching to maximum 65m.
