Z-BRIDGE | Bring-to-Work system
Rightsizing Offshore Access
Z-Bridge Offshore Access Solutions introduces the Bring-to-Work (B2W) system, designed to enhance safety and operational efficiency in offshore personnel and cargo transfers. This lightweight, fully motion-compensated system enables the use of smaller vessels without compromising performance, offering a cost-effective alternative for offshore operations.
Key Features
• Versatile Deployment: Weighing only 27.5 metric tons, the B2W system is compatible with Crew Transfer Vessels, mini–Service Operation Vessels and standard SOVs or DP2 vessels.
• Extended Reach: The system provides direct access to heights ranging from 10 to 22 meters above the vessel’s deck, facilitating efficient transfers to offshore structures.
• Dual Functionality: Beyond personnel and cargo transfers, the B2W system functions as a fully motion-compensated crane, enhancing its utility in various offshore tasks.
• Certified Safety: Developed in compliance with Bureau Veritas standards for Offshore Access Systems, the B2W system has undergone comprehensive Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) under independent third-party supervision, ensuring adherence to stringent safety and quality benchmarks.
By integrating the B2W system, operators can achieve significant cost savings through the deployment of smaller vessels, while maintaining high levels of safety and operational efficiency. This innovation exemplifies Z-Bridge’s commitment to “Rightsizing Offshore Access,” providing tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of the offshore industry.
