Vessel-to-FPSO transfer of personnel project

During July and August OSBV's patented Offshore Access System (OAS), mounted on the MS "Stril Explorer" (chartered by SeaHold GEOSHIPS Limited) is said to have successfully transferred personnel to and from Shell Expro’s Anasuria FPSO, (located approximately 175km east of Aberdeen), with no safety incidents. Some 24 operational connections were made, facilitating 294 individual crossings.

The transfers were achieved while the MS "Stril Explorer" carried out diving activities during the same period, demonstrating further flexibility of a vessel-mounted OAS.
The OAS used on this contract was the first one incorporating the free-standing modification. The free-standing version retains all the safety and operational features of the original system, with the variation that it is mounted on a skid, as Offshore Solutions states.
