Safeway Gangway, in collaboration with Van Aalst Marine & Offshore, is proud to announce its participation in the Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference 2024, taking place on November 26-27 at RAI Amsterdam, booth 1.233. As a leader in offshore access solutions, Safeway views this prestigious event as a cornerstone for showcasing innovation, fostering industry collaboration, and contributing to the energy transition.
The Evolution of Offshore Energy
From its origins as a small oil-and-gas-focused event in Den Helder, Offshore Energy has grown into a global platform attracting industry leaders from the UK, Scandinavia, and beyond. Wijnand van Aalst, CEO of Safeway Gangway, emphasizes the importance of the event for Safeway:
“The Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference has a long-standing history. It has grown into an international platform at the RAI, drawing companies from major markets like Scandinavia and the UK. Being visible here is crucial for us as a Dutch company,” says Van Aalst. “The synergy between competitors in the North Sea is truly unique—it’s what drives innovation and progress.”
Safeway’s Technological Prowess
As a pioneer in offshore wind and energy solutions, Safeway will showcase its motion-compensated gangways, including the cutting-edge Seagull and Osprey systems. These innovations represent the future of offshore access:
- Seagull Gangway: A 28-meter motion-compensated gangway that offers year-round access with enhanced safety and efficiency. Key features include roll compensation, zero-impact bumpers, and a unique 10-meter telescoping stroke, providing unparalleled workability.
- Osprey Gangway: Featuring a 12-meter vertical elevation and 34.5-meter reach, this gangway ensures operational flexibility and high personnel transfer speeds. Its hover mode enables contactless landings, reducing structural impact while maximizing safety.
Supporting the Energy Transition
With the growing demand for offshore wind energy and renewable solutions, Safeway plays a vital role in the energy transition. Van Aalst underscores the importance of collaboration in this transformative era:
“Despite the rise of remote work, face-to-face meetings with suppliers and partners are irreplaceable. Physical contact helps to break down silos and keep teams united,” he states. “The energy transition relies on innovation and teamwork—this event is an opportunity to advance both.”
