The North Sea is often referred to as the “cradle of offshore wind.” This dynamic body of water is central to Europe’s renewable energy strategy, with ambitious targets of 120 GW of offshore and floating wind capacity by 2030 and 300 GW by 2050. Despite its importance, the North Sea is notorious for its rough sea conditions, making it one of the most challenging locations for offshore operations. Ampelmann Operations’s gangway systems, designed to compensate for the harsh waves and unpredictable weather of the North Sea, have played a critical role in making offshore wind farms viable. Their Walk to Work (W2W) solutions have transformed offshore logistics, allowing safe year-round access for personnel and cargo to turbines and platforms, even in the roughest seas.
