Ampelmann will provide one of its offshore access solutions to enable “walk to work” for a commissioning campaign on Premier Oil’s Solan field, West of Shetland in the UK.
Ampelmann’s E-type system will enable workers to walk onto the Solan platform from Siem Spearfish, the multi-purpose service vessel chartered by Harkand, the company hired by Premier Oil to support the activities on the Solan field development.
The E-type provides a stable transfer platform in conditions of up to 4.5 meters wave height. It is based on the same self-stabilizing technology as the A-Type, but with cylinders sized up 1.5 times.
“Contributing to a commissioning project in this challenging area is a significant milestone for Ampelmann and further reinforces our position as the global leader in motion controlled offshore access” , said Wiebe Emsbroek , Area Manager Europe at Ampelmann.
“This safe and efficient way of transferring personnel offshore has become a viable and effective alternative to other transfer methods and Amplemann is extremely pleased to set the standard in safety again in this landmark project.”
