DELFT, the NetherlandsAmpelmann has secured a contract in the southern North Sea.

An E-type gangway system has been installed on theOlympic Orion vessel to carry out a two-month campaign for Spirit Energy to prepare the Audrey platform for decommissioning.

The E-type is the largest fully motion compensated system within the company’s portfolio. Operating globally, it has enabled more than 300,000 safe personnel transfers in the oil and gas industry and can perform in sea states up to 4.5 m (14.8 ft) significant wave height.

The Audrey field project is an important milestone for Ampelmann’s work in the decommissioning market.

Lorenz Nehring, business development manager Aberdeen, said: “We have identified decommissioning as a key sector of interest and it’s great to see that there is an increasing need for fully motion compensated gangway systems, not only in our traditional personnel transfer offering, but also for innovative vessel-based life support solutions.”

At ONS 2018, Ampelmann is exhibiting at stand 5110-10, Hall 5, in the Dutch Pavilion.
