Buoyant Works replaces traditional steel landings with a high-performance, eco-friendly polyurethane solution.
Buoyant Works has unveiled its latest innovation, FlexLanding, a new polyurethane-based alternative to traditional steel boat-landing ladder systems for Buoyant Works has unveiled its latest innovation, FlexLanding, a new polyurethane-based alternative to traditional steel boat-landing ladder systems for and offshore wind turbines (CSOVs) and offshore wind turbines.
The new FlexLanding system has been engineered to meet the rigorous demands of offshore wind operations and is offered in two configurations—one tailored for emergency crew access and another designed specifically for cargo mooring. Both versions aim to enhance safety and performance while delivering significant reductions in maintenance requirements.
For transfer operations, the crew-access model integrates ladder steps directly into the structure, enabling safe, efficient movement between Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) or daughter craft and offshore wind turbines, as well as supporting CSOV boarding.
In it’s cargo-handling configuration, FlexLanding can be supplied as a dedicated CSOV cargo mooring system. This variant removes the ladder steps to provide a smooth, uninterrupted interface, improving grip for CTVs and daughter craft during lifting operations and ensuring stable handling of equipment and components.
Manufactured from Buoyant Works’ high-performance polyurethane, FlexLanding balances durability with environmental responsibility. The system is built for long service life in harsh offshore conditions and uses eco-friendly materials that reduce the need for regular interventions—lowering operational costs and cutting fuel consumption across vessel fleets.
Reflecting Buoyant Works’ modular design philosophy, FlexLanding is built from interchangeable sections, allowing operators to replace only what is needed rather than an entire landing structure. This modularity further reduces downtime, costs, and the environmental footprint of maintenance operations.
