Founded in 2007, Offshore Solutions is a supplier of heave compensated gangways for the offshore oil and gas market, based in the Netherlands.

With an extensive track record of safe personnel transfers, Offshore Solutions offers an innovative, safe and cost-effective alternative to helicopters, crew boats and jack-ups.
Ampelmann, founded in 2008, is also active in the offshore walk-to-work market and is a spin-off of the Delft University of Technology. The company has doubled its fleet every year since 2008 and currently operates over 25 systems worldwide.
