Access

Enabling reliable personnel and cargo transfer.

As the scale of offshore development continues to accelerate, ensuring that personnel and cargo can safely and seamlessly transfer between vessels and offshore structures has never been more important.

We specialise in safe and reliable offshore access solutions to enable our customers to carry out development and maintenance activities with confidence.

We have developed access solutions for over a decade, supplying a diverse range of systems to suit the offshore markets’ evolving needs.

We design, build, and support a diverse range of access systems.

These include active motion compensated systems, self-deploying telescopic gangway systems from 3-metres to 50-metres and over, variable height access systems, and a wide range of boat landing systems.

We love partnering with our customers to solve offshore access challenges, as well as to develop custom solutions for completely new and novel applications.

How we can help

  • We deliver tailored studies and concept design to inform project decision-making, from simple feasibility assessments through to complex FEED.

  • We develop and deliver appropriately engineered systems to drive our customers’ operations forward.

  • We provide multi-discipline commissioning support, as well as offshore operational and maintenance teams.

  • We offer tailored spares packages, desktop studies, and remote engineering support, as required.

  • We optimise, repurpose and diversify asset capabilities, as well as inspecting, surveying, and carrying out planned maintenance.

Key benefits delivered

  • Extensive track record

    Our self-deploying gangway systems are in use on an extensive number of turbine installation jack ups, and we’ve supplied systems to many well-known installation contractors.

  • First of kind technology

    We supplied the offshore industry’s first height adjustable boat landing system for a jack-up vessel.

  • Enabling major projects

    Our systems have supported the construction of major offshore wind farm projects, such as Hornsea One, TPC Changhua, Dogger Bank, and many more.

Supplying an industry-first height adjustable boat landing system to facilitate safe jack-up vessel access offshore.

  • “The Osbit system safely transfers personnel from crew transfer boats to our barges while remaining jacked up on location. It reduces non-productive time for our client, while improving safety and comfort for workers offshore.”

    Chief Executive Officer, GMS

  • “The safety of our employees is of paramount importance. Thanks to the innovative design Osbit has developed, the hazards associated with the transfer phase have been reduced.”
