Ampelmann technology
The unique Ampelmann systems use motion sensors and hydraulic cylinders to create self-stabilizing technology. This facilitates motion-compensating gangways to create safe, reliable and efficient access to oil and gas rigs and wind turbines at open sea. As well as gangways, Ampelmann offers motion-compensating solutions for heavy-lift operations and ship-to-ship solutions to enable transfer between floating structures.
