Z‑Bridge, an innovative offshore access solutions company, announce that Seaway7, a global offshore wind contractor, has purchased its Bring‑to‑Work (B2W) motion-compensated access system following a 15-month operational trial aboard the heavy-lift vessel Alfa Lift. The acquisition underscores the system’s proven performance in enabling safe and efficient personnel transfers for complex offshore wind installation campaigns.
The system was mobilised in October 2023 and has supported the operation of the Alfa Lift HLV on a project, in providing safe and efficient transfer of personnel and cargo between the vessel and the TP’s. Where the system initially was developed for operating on smaller vessels, the limited footprint and flexible landing height have also proven to be of great value to optimize deck space for larger vessels, eliminating big substructures for providing access to heights. After a 15-month successful rental period, Z-Bridge and Seaway7 entered into a purchase agreement of the system, which was effectuated end of February 2025.
To mark this hand‑over, Z‑Bridge General Manager Joost Böggemann presented earlier this month a scale model of the B2W to Seaway7 Technical Superintendent Marco van der Zwan.
“This first system sale validates the market demand for innovation in the offshore Access segment” said Joost Böggemann. “We look forward to supporting Seaway7 as they deploy their Bring-to-Work on their projects and see this as a first step into the market of clients desiring to purchase instead of renting.”
Z-Bridge B.V. continues to support the ongoing operation under a SLA providing operator training at the Z-Bridge Learning Hub, Technical support and operational assistance to its Tier1 client Seaway7.
