Gangway · Accommodation & Access Equipment
The Horizon is an active motion-compensated gangway system that maintains a stable transfer interface while the vessel moves, enabling personnel and cargo transfer across offshore wind, oil and gas, and offshore logistics operations.
| Hydraulic oil sampling/analysis | typically every 2,000-3,000 running hours or annually |
|---|---|
| Load test / SWL verification | typically annual, per class and flag requirements |
| MRU/motion sensor calibration check | typically every 6-12 months |
| Hydraulic hose replacement | condition-based, typically 5-8 years or per maker schedule |
| Slew bearing/gear lubrication | per maker's schedule, typically monthly to quarterly depending on duty |
Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.
| Wire rope diameter reduction (if fitted) | general marine practice is discard at roughly 7% diameter reduction from nominal, or per class wire rope inspection code - confirm against the maker/class rules |
|---|---|
| Hydraulic cylinder rod wear/scoring | condition-based - visible scoring generally requires seal replacement and rod inspection; confirm with the maker |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Personnel transfer/access equipment carrying a class notation typically requires annual load testing and function verification of the motion compensation and emergency lowering systems, plus a structural survey of the gangway and its shipboard foundation. Documentation of MRU calibration and load cell certification is generally expected at each survey.
