The Access Challenge
Ensuring safe and economical access to offshore wind developments is a critical issue as new projects explore remoter locations and harsher met ocean conditions.
Access options need to :
- Minimise risk and honour ALARP principles
- Consider the movement of people and equipment
- Cater for the planned events (67%) and the unplanned events (32%)
- Operable in year round weather conditions
- Enhance emergency options for safety case development

Proposed Access System
Reflex Marine is developing the Offshore Wind Access System (OWAS). This innovative system provides:
- Safe and reliable access for up to 3.0m Hs using proven equipment
- One system for moving people, equipment and repair parts
- Emergency evacuation option
- Means to safely extract injured and stretchered personnel
- High degree of flexibility and application
Reflex Marine believes the OWAS system provides significant operational and safety advantages at low capital investment costs.
