KUALA LUMPUR – As the offshore energy sector in Southeast Asia continues its rapid evolution, Safeway is reaffirming its commitment to the region by attending the Offshore Technology Conference Asia (OTC Asia). From 31 March to 2 April, Safeway’s commercial leadership will be on the ground at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) to engage with industry stakeholders and discuss the future of offshore access.
Representing Safeway at this premier event are Willem Amerika, Sales Director, and Manel Ben Ameur, Sales Representative. Their presence underlines Safeway’s proactive approach to supporting the regional transition toward safer and more efficient ‘Walk to Work’ (W2W) operations.
A Strategic Hub for Offshore Innovation
OTC Asia has long been a focal point for the oil, gas, and renewable energy industries in the Asia-Pacific region. For Safeway, the event serves as a vital platform to exchange insights on the increasing technical demands of offshore projects. With a proven track record in the challenging waters of the South China Sea and beyond, Safeway’s motion-compensated gangway technology is uniquely positioned to address the region’s specific environmental and operational hurdles.
“The Asia-Pacific region is a cornerstone of our global strategy,” says Willem Amerika, Sales Director at Safeway. “Attending OTC Asia allows us to stay at the forefront of regional developments and ensures that our motion-compensated solutions continue to meet the high safety and workability standards required by our partners here.”
Driving Efficiency Through Motion Compensation
A key theme for Safeway during the conference is the optimization of operational windows. In a market where downtime equates to significant financial loss, Safeway’s gangways—known for their roll compensation and high workability—offer a decisive advantage. By providing stable, zero-impact connections even in high sea states, Safeway enables continuous crew transfers, significantly increasing the efficiency of Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) and construction support ships.
Beyond efficiency, the core of Safeway’s mission remains the safety of offshore personnel. The technical discussions led by Manel Ben Ameur and Willem Amerika in Kuala Lumpur will focus on how Safeway’s latest innovations, such as height-adjustable pedestals and advanced automation, are minimizing risks during the most critical phase of offshore work: the transfer from ship to structure.
Expanding the Footprint
Following successful deployments in the Taiwanese offshore wind market and ongoing collaborations with major regional vessel owners, Safeway’s participation at OTC Asia 2026 marks another step in the company’s expansion. By maintaining a strong physical presence at key industry hubs like Kuala Lumpur, Safeway ensures it remains the partner of choice for developers and shipowners seeking the next generation of Walk to Work excellence.
For those attending OTC Asia, Willem and Manel are available throughout the three-day event to share technical expertise and explore how Safeway’s fleet can be integrated into upcoming regional projects.
