The Walk-to-Work system is a motion compensated gangway equipped with compensating cylinders that keep the gangway steady, even on rough seas. Thus making it a safe personnel/cargo transfer from the vessel to the point of destination.
TILLEN engineers worked on multiple such systems, either fully electric or hydraulic. They were involved in the pre-engineering, in concept definition and ultimately in the development and release of production drawings. On two already well-established systems, TILLEN was involved in the improvement process.
The TILLEN-added Value:
● Designing with strict guidelines;
