The 4C Crow's Nest

Ep.3: Can a Walk to Work system be installed on a Crew Transfer Vessel?


Listen Later

Service vessel operators are constantly looking for innovative ways to increase turbine accessibility. Walk to Work (W2W) systems are seen as the optimum means of transferring personnel to turbines as they are safe and reliable, allowing access in higher wave conditions.  While SOVs have a W2W system as standard, the systems are not usually suited to CTVs. But one operator, MHO-O&Co has achieved this goal.

In this episode, I was joined in the Crow’s Nest by Mik Henriksen, CEO and founder of MH-O&Co, and operator of a unique fleet of CTVs. Mik’s vessels are substantially larger than average, and some also feature a Zbridge W2W system. Mik spoke about how the design for the vessels came about, and it was adapted to enable the installation of the Zbridge transfer system onboard.

This episode was recorded before the arrival of MHO Apollo and MHO Asgard in Esbjerg after their epic voyage from the AFAI ship yard in China.
