UPTIME INTERNATIONAL ACHIEVES WORLD FIRST STATOIL TRL7 PROVEN TECHNOLOGY APPROVAL FOR MOTION COMPENSATED GANGWAYS
TRL 7 is Statoil’s highest technology readiness level. This was achieved for the Uptime 23,4m active motion compensated gangway.
During the approval, the gangway was mounted on Island Offshore’s vessel “Island Crown” during a walk to work charter for Statoil. The charter was to perform hook-up and commissioning of the unmanned wellhead platform “Oseberg H” for the “Oseberg Vestflanken 2 development.”
Use of unmanned wellhead platforms is a new concept on the Norwegian continental shelf.
Island Offshore started this walk to work charter at “Oseberg H” with the vessel “Island Crown” in August 2017 and completed in October 2017. During the charter “Island Crown” connected to “Oseberg H” by the Uptime 23,4m AMC gangway, for continuous open access and evacuation means for personnel on the installation.
