Our gangways
Seagull
The Safeway Seagull type is developed for retrofitting on existing vessels and has been operational since early 2017. The patented unit is primarily used for our rental fleet. The unique roll compensation mast allows especially for high workability at elevated positions. 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 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.

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