‘Next Generation Gangway’ presented in live onshore demonstration
Barge Master and Bosch Rexroth have jointly introduced an impressive new motion compensated gangway to the offshore wind market. After numerous simulations and virtual tests, the first actually manufactured gangway is currently being tested onshore at the Bosch Rexroth facilities in Boxtel, the Netherlands. At June 21st this location was transformed into a presentation area, where the visitors were informed about the partnership between the two companies, and allowed to have a close look at the complex technology on the demonstrated gangway. Soon, the gangway will be installed on the offshore support vessel VOS Start of fleet operator Vroon. This ship –with the state-of-the-art gangway- will be used to transport technical personal to offshore wind turbines.
