Osprey
The Safeway Osprey type is used for large construction vessels. 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.

E-Gannet
Designed for installation on newbuilt SOV’s, the Safeway E-Gannet is a perfect match for offshore wind farm O&M scope. Made with trolley operations in mind the Safeway E-Gannet has a stepless transfer and 1.2m transit width. Integrated into the vessel construction, Safeway E-Gannet still combines the advantages of the Seagull type with its hover mode, roll compensation, strongly reduced actuator motions and highest workability in the market.

The challenge with helicopters...
More and more clients are convinced that the walk-to-work approach has an advantage over helicopter transportation. Having a work-to-work vessel in the field means no more delayed or canceled flights due to bad weather, more hands-on tool time and no more need for the investment in helicopter platforms and facilities. Having a gangway, like an avio bridge, deployed therefore means efficient maintenance and crew changes on planned basis where the helicopter remains invaluable in emergency response and rescue operations.
W2W vs Helicopter
W2W is safer
Accidents with helicopters, social distancing impossible
W2W is more efficient
Helicopter check-in times, working hours, tools not permitted, delays and cancellations
W2W is cheaper
Average estimated cost reduction of 50%
How it's made
Medivac
Safety has our highest priority.
The Safeway products carry a class approval for Medivac operations. The mechanical structure permits the passage of three persons plus a stretcher through the gangway in case of a medical evacuation. Special care is taken here to allow the safe passage of a person to the onboard hospital facilities. As part of the project preparations the best route on the vessel is determined as well as practiced during a Medivac safety drill onboard.
