Deutsche Offshore Schifffahrt has chosen Dutch company SMST to supply a gangway system and crane for its fleet of service operation vessels.
SMST will supply its Telescopic Access Bridge (TAB-L2) gangway system as well as its offshore knuckle boom crane with 3D motion compensating capability.
These will be installed on Deutsche Offshore’s fleet of construction and commissioning service operation vessels (C-CSOV).
Deutsche Offshore managing director Johannes Wolters said: “Crane and gangway will have the single most important influence on the performance of our vessels of any component on board.
“Therefore, we have conducted a very careful and thorough selection process for our mission equipment.
“We are thrilled to have SMST as partner to realise the innovative nature of our vessels.
“SMST will grant us the unique combination of a high-performing system, proven to operate reliably, safely, and in severe weather conditions.”
