They delivered a high-quality W2W gangway for our flagship Bibby WaveMaster 1 and we are pleased to say the gangway has completed almost 100k personnel transfers with zero breakdowns. The aftercare service is second to none and we’re proud to recommend UPTIME for any project."

"Since installation in 2016, our vessel, Wind Innovation, has completed more than 10,000 transfers using the Uptime gangway. We have never experienced any major breakdowns despite the fact that we have periods with +24 transfers every 24 hours. We are also very satisfied with the aftermarket setup, where we can get 24/7 support to check the gangway in case of any issues without having to arrange a technician coming onboard. All in all, both Operators, Chief Engineer, Captain and everyone from Backoffice are very satisfied with the performance of our Uptime gangway."

Matthias Müller

Managing Director | WINDEA Offshore

"We were pleased that Uptime took our feedback for the 23,4m gangway and developed the new 30m version, which offers more operability. The included crane is a significant enhancement for the operation, too.... "

Emil Rasch

Able seaman | ESVAGT NJORD

"I have a good impression of how the Uptime works. It is easy to control, it works well and have taken account of different circumstances that could arise. If problems arise with the Uptime, they are quick to help, either remotely or by sending people to the location. The courses consist of a basic course and an advanced course. In both they do well to mix it so you first learn the theory of one part, after which you try it on the simulator. That way it is not half a day of theory followed by half a day of simulation. When taking the practical exam you are in an advanced simulator and will try connecting in different weather conditions. Uptime is also open for suggestions from the Uptime operators on how to make improvements."

Patrick Pattenier

Technical Superintendent | OOS International

"I have been working with Uptime’s telescopic gangways for more than 6 years now, as these are installed on our assets. I am very pleased with the quality of the telescopic gangways and same applies for the quality of the spares and customers service from Uptime. Till date, we haven’t had issues with our gangways resulting in maximum uptime for our clients, which is our ultimate aim."

Lars Ove Hole

Vessel Manager Renewable Energy | Solstad Offshore ASA

"We mobilized our first Uptime gangway in 2017. That was the start of a fruitful cooperation which has grown stronger over the years. We appreciate the solution orientated dialogue with the onshore team and we are currently having several vessels operating with Uptime gangway onboard. These have proven to have an excellent operability and uptime during many years of operation."

Arve Nilsen
