Ampelmann was founded on a unique premise, to make offshore access as easy as crossing the street.
The early beginnings of this idea can be traced back to 2002, when, at an offshore wind conference in Berlin, a simple, but ingenious idea was conceived. An upside-down flight simulator, also known as a Stewart platform, would enable a gangway to greatly increase the safety of personnel at sea by compensating for motions in all six degrees of freedom. The first research papers, patent and model soon followed and in 2008, the first transfers took place in the North Sea. Years of research and development had unequivocally proven that Walk to Work (W2W) is a safe, reliable and efficient offshore access solution. Ampelmann was founded in the same year and has been setting new standards for offshore access ever since.
