Safeway is a Dutch company part of the Van Aalst Group and specialized in the design and production of offshore transfer equipment. Safeway has a product line of motion compensated gangway systems with among others the Safeway Seagull, Safeway Osprey and Safeway Gannet.
The Safeway Seagull is self-sustained with integrated HPU and controls. It can be positioned anywhere on the vessel and only requires the hook-up from the onboard power system to operate. Continuous access allows very high personnel transfer speeds. The telescopic boom is constructed from aluminum to minimize weight and simultaneously increase workability. The Safeway Seagull series is operational and has been proven several times successfully, Vuyk was involved from the early start of the concept development until detailed design.
