ULSTEIN SX250 Mini SOV: Right-Sizing Offshore Access with Bring-to-Work system

At Z-Bridge, one of our key drivers has always been optimizing operations by right-sizing, reducing CAPEX, and optimizing OPEX. The new ULSTEIN SX250 mini SOV, equipped with our Bring-to-Work system, is a testament to this commitment. With a proven track record of transferring over 21,000 personnel, the Bring-to-Work system eliminates the need for tower structures and overcomes the 15-degree limitation of traditional Walk-to-Work systems. Here are some key benefits:

  • Telescopic Boom on a Fully Motion-Compensated Pedestal: Ensures stability and safety.

  • Safe Push-On Connection: Establishes first a secure connection with the offshore structure before allowing transferees onto the system, similar to Walk-to-Work;

  • Continuous Connection: The telescopic boom remains connected during multiple trolley runs, enhancing safety and efficiency.

  • Efficient Transfers: Accommodates teams of six transferees per trolley run, matching the efficiency of Walk-to-Work systems.

  • Eliminates Walking Over Telescopic Parts: Transfers are conducted in the trolley, ensuring safety.

  • Cargo Transfer Capability: Can transfer up to 1000kg of cargo in the trolley.

  • Emergency Evacuations: Capable of performing emergency evacuations with a stretcher in the trolley.

  • Integrated Hoisting Function: Adds versatility to the system.

The fully motion-compensated Bring-to-Work system offers the highest level of redundancy and safety while maintaining the flexibility of operating from a small vessel. With a weight of only 27 tons and a small footprint, the system is designed for optimal vessel utilization.
