Ampelmann has secured its first contract with Petra Resources Sdn Bhd, with end client Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd in Malaysia, to supply safe offshore access services in Sarawak waters during the monsoon period.
Stretching from October to February, the monsoon period is renowned for its harsh weather conditions, making conventional offshore transfer methods less safe and efficient.
Ampelmann A-Type
The Ampelmann A-type system compensates all vessel motions, thus providing a stable gangway for transfers, which significantly increases the safety for the workers. Furthermore, Ampelmann’s systems minimise the amount of ‘Vessel Waiting on Weather’ (WOW) days, which results in shorter project duration and lower project costs. The first transfers have been successfully completed in up to 3,0 m significant wave height.
