Introduction

One of the most thriving and profitable business of the moment is the offshore access industry. The offshore access industry is growing in size every year. Therefore,The differentiated offshore access system Articles it might be a good idea to invest in a company operating in this business. Before you can do this, it is a good idea, to find out more about the latest invention in the industry, the differentiated offshore access system. This article will inform you about the basics.

The offshore access system

The differentiated offshore access system (OAS) is a machine with 5 or 6 hydraulic legs that use the same technology as a flight simulator in order to compensate wave motions. Another part of the system is a gangway that is used to connect to the platform and enable employees to walk over safely.

The best brand of this system is Ampelmann. Ampelmann is a company located in Delft, The Netherlands that fabricates these machines since 2002. Their specific system can compensate wave motions up to 3.5 meters and furthermore it has the fastest installing time.

Currently, the helicopter is still the most used offshore access solution by clients. This is mainly because; the companies behind the offshore access systems are relatively young themselves too, so that haven’t had enough time to properly market their product.

The offshore access system is primarily necessary to reach offshore wind turbines and offshore oil platforms. It is the safest way of accessing these offshore platforms, and safety is one of the most important criteria for clients. An accident offshore, could lead to injured personnel or even casualties. This could lead to severe reputation damage for the company in question.

Evaluation

One of the newest inventions in the offshore access industry, the differentiated offshore access system will take over the market in the following decade. This is only a matter of time, because of the technological superiority of the machine.
