Z-Bridge Bring-to-Work system

The Bring-to-Work (B2W) system is a light weight fully motion compensated offshore access system, that is designed to safely and efficient transfer personnel & cargo from the vessels deck to the Offshore structure. The system is developed with the objective to continue the improvement of safety and operational efficiency. The system can also be used as a motion compensated crane.

Key benefits

Two functions in one machine:
Crew & Cargo transfer & Hoisting
High landing range:
8 -21 Meter above the mounting area
Light weight : 27 ton
Small footprint
Easy to mobilize:
transportable over road

The B2W system is designed, constructed and tested in compliance with the Bureau Veritas rules for certification of Offshore Access System, this includes a full system FMEA performed under the supervision of an independent third party. The fully motion compensated systems is the lightest system available in the market able to operate from LAT +10 up to 24 meter . Weighing only 30 ton the system is suitable to operate from smaller SOV’s and can be mobilized at any port using a standard telescope crane.

Wave frequency : 6 – 12 sec
Pitch : +/- 6 degrees
Roll : +/- 6 degrees
Landing height : + 10-24 LAT
Weight : 30 ton (incl. deck interface)
Transfer 6 persons per trolley run
or 1000 kg of cargo

Vessel integration

Z‑Bridge partners with leading vessel designers to integrate the Bring‑to‑Work (B2W) system across a broad range of O&M vessels. Its small footprint, low weight, and exceptional vertical reach make it the optimal solution for SWATH‑SOV’s.

On Mini‑SOV’s, B2W is the sole transfer system that achieves full working height without heavy sub‑structures
