The Offshore Story Endless expanses, water, winds and waves the sea is a fascinating, beautiful miracle of nature! But heavy storms, incalculable wakes, high waves and marine growth make it very dangerous or even impossible to arrive at or depart from an offshore plant. Fassmer offers solutions for safe and efficient access. 4 5
Would you allow anyone climbing this ladder? The Fassmer Solution: Windlift The Fassmer Windlift completely eliminates the need to use climbing ladders to gain access to an offshore plant. The windlift is a hanging modular system which allows all kinds of service ships to approach and dock on from any direction easily and fast. Through the tailor-made fender arrangement the boarding system is independent from the ship or boat. Service staff and spare parts can be lifted safely under remote control without consideration of wind, waves and current. Slippery stairs, wet and covered with plants and algae mean a high risk for people landing at an offshore plant. The situation becomes even worse if they have to transport tools and materials. 6 7
Would you risk docking a ship onto an offshore plant during seas like The Fassmer Solution: The helicopter platform. Sometimes this is the only safe access. Made from fully corrosion resistant materials, the helicopter platform provides reliable and durable access to offshore plants and wind turbines. It is used for rescuing injured people, transfer of service staff and spare parts and can be fitted with emergency lowering points for descent systems, helicopter guides, hoisting davits for spare parts and wind measuring instruments. this? Sometimes it is better not to go by ship at all. During heavy seas the risks become incalculable. But perhaps people on an offshore plant are waiting for you... 8 9
Do you think that people will return safely during this The Fassmer Solution: Survival Cabin Fassmer provides service staff for offshore plants or castaways with a self-supporting modular cabin for overnight-stays. These survival cabin units are ventilated, heated and equipped with beds, chairs and tables, sanitary blocks, emergency food rations and water bags. Easy connections to tower-electronics are prepared. weather? Survival Kit Emergency Food Ration Working on an offshore-plant poses a high risk; people know that. If a heavy thunderstorm is approaching or other extreme weather conditions are emerging no one will try to go home right then. Survival Cabin Arrangement Tower installation 10 11
Have you any idea how to get this onto a wind turbine easily? The Fassmer Solution: Cranes. KISS Keep it safe and simple. Fassmer Wind Service Cranes (FWSC) can lift diverse spare parts, tools, materials and even small containers up to 50 kn. The maintenance and repair of wind turbines require the exchange of diverse components for transformers, motors or electronic devices that need to be lifted up on top of the platform. The cranes operate either with an electro-hydraulic drive or with a counterweight system. FWSC 10 kn wave compensation with counterweight Waves don t stop when people are transporting materials and spare parts onto an offshore-plant or wind turbine. Reliable and safe appliances are essential for transporting bulky equipment in harsh environments. FWSC 50 kn with hydraulic wave compensation 12 13
Do you have any idea The Fassmer Solution: Offshore Service Vessels how much experience we have gained in the In future, modern offshore service vessels will need to become increasingly flexible and fulfil a variety of operational demands. Fassmer has therefore developed a range of special purpose vessels with high technology equipment that integrate perfectly into the offshore story. last 160 years? Offshore Supply Vessel 34 m The open sea is a very particular environment that poses a great challenge for all offshore systems. Men are constantly improving their ways of predicting nature and its ways. But there is nothing like experience and fully functional equipment when you have to react under all offshore conditions and in an emergency situation that nobody can foresee.
