Rem Offshore AS has awarded SMST a rental contract for its newest type of rental gangway, the so-called Telescopic Access Bridge L-Series (TAB-L), including four stacking modules for working on height and a lifting winch for cargo handling.

The TAB-L has been installed on board of the Rem Inspector, Rem’s Construction Subsea Vessel (CSV) that is going to perform maintenance operations at the
Dan Tysk offshore wind farm.

The Rem Inspector has previously been operating with a gangway from the SMST range. Since April 2019, the Telescopic Access Bridge M-Series (TAB-M) is doing its walk-to-work duties and cargo handling on board the vessel.

“We have used the SMST gangway for several campaigns in various wind farms in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. We are pleased to expand our current positive experience and increase the performance at higher wave heights with this new type of gangway”, says Thomas Dalsøren, COO at Rem Offshore AS.

After demobilising the TAB-M, last week the mobilisation of the TAB-L took place at the port of Eemshaven. This week the construction subsea vessel, chartered by Global Marine, will start its work at
Dan Tysk,  located in the North Sea, 70km west of the island of Sylt. The motion compensated gangway will stay on board throughout the coming winter period, increasing the vessel’s efficiency by the superior performance of the TAB-L, resulting in maximum utilization of the Rem Inspector.

The TAB-L is the latest addition to SMST’s rental fleet. The gangway has a length of 15 up to 25m and has a cargo handling capacity of 1t via a lifting winch below the bridge tip. Working on various heights can be done with stacking modules.

“By adding this gangway to our rental fleet, we can offer an even higher workability, a greater availability and wider usability of our fleet. Furthermore, the TAB-L is meeting the latest requirements set out in today’s tenders in the offshore wind industry”, says Jelle Dijk, Sales Manager at SMST.
