13 May 2026 MacGregor has successfully validated advanced floating-to-floating motion compensation for our Horizon V4 active motion compensated gangways - independently verified and certified by DNV following a successful Sea Acceptance Test. Safe, reliable personnel transfer between two independently moving offshore assets - Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (CSOV) to Floating Production Storage and Offloading unit (FPSO) - is now a proven reality. For operators in complex offshore environments, this is a meaningful step forward - validating capability where the challenge is greatest: transfer between two independently moving vessels in open water. And it was a team effort. Bluewater, Edda Wind, and Norwind Offshore brought the operational knowledge, trust, and hands-on commitment that made this result possible. Genuine partnership, delivering real outcomes. At the core: high-precision LiDAR-based relative motion tracking. Greater uptime, reduced weather-window dependency, and enhanced crew safety. This validation opens new opportunities across Offshore Oil & Gas and Floating Wind - strengthening the versatility of our motion compensated access portfolio.
