This contract is an important milestone for the Netherlands-based company, as it gives it the chance to set a new standard in safety for offshore operations in the region.

“Mexico is a very important market for us,” said Andres Garcia, business developer for Latin America at Ampelmann. “We take our first contract in the region as an opportunity to improve the safety standards for offshore transfers in the region.”

The fully motion compensated A-type system, mobilized on a flotel, is being used in Mexico to transfer personnel from vessels to offshore platforms, and back.

The company is also looking towards expanding its reach in Mexico and contributing to ever-higher safety standards in the local offshore industry.
