About

The Ampelmann concept dates to 2002, when the idea of using an upside-down flight simulator (a Stewart platform) to carry a gangway that compensates for motion in all six degrees of freedom was conceived at an offshore wind conference in Berlin. Research papers, a patent and a model followed, and the first transfers took place in the North Sea in 2008, the year Ampelmann was founded.

The company describes itself as a key global player in offshore access, with local presence in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and the Americas. Its Operations Control Centre runs three shifts from Europe, Brunei and the USA and reports a fleet-wide technical uptime of 99.6%. Systems are certified by Lloyd's Register and/or DNV.
