Seagull

The Safeway Seagull type is developed for retrofitting on existing vessels and has been operational since early 2017. The unit is primarily used for our rental fleet
and it’s specific features such as 
10m vertical
elevation range, hover mode, easy plug & play installation
 makes it the ideal tool for offshore maintenance campaigns.

Osprey

The Safeway Osprey type is currently under construction for large construction vessels and is soon available for purchase. The unit is self-sustained with integrated HPU and controls. The gangway only requires the hook-up from the vessel power to operate at any random position on the vessel deck. The unit is furthermore designed with a vertical parking position minimising the amount of deck area required.

Albatross

Designed for installation on newbuild SOV’s, the Safeway Albatross is a perfect match for Equinor’s Doggerbank / Dudgeon wind farm O&M scope. Made with trolley operations in mind the Safeway Albatross has a stepless transfer and 1.2m transit width. Albatross combines the advantages of Seagull (hover mode, roll compensation, counterweight and highest workability in the market) with strongly reduced actuator motions.

Company

Set for growth

The added value of this partnership, besides the financing we are receiving, is the possibility for us to continue as entrepreneurs, managing our own business. This turned out to be an excellent combination, made possible by the minority stake which NIBC & RPF have taken in the business.
