Milestones of IRO members related to Middle East and ADIPEC:

• Ampelmann:
  As one of the pioneers of Walk to Work (W2W), have signed a contract to supply one of their L-type gangways to a major player in the offshore industry in Abu Dhabi.
  W2W is a safe and efficient offshore access solution that increases operational flexibility and provides consistent and reliable access throughout the year. As one of our primary systems for sea states up to 2m Hs, the L-type motion compensated gangway is a cost-effective access solution that extends weather windows and increases the safety and efficiency of offshore operations. Fully electric, it fits both smaller and larger vessels, has a low carbon footprint and is ideally suited for operations varying from crew change to supporting construction and maintenance scopes on offshore installations.

• Soluforce:
  SoluForce recently signed a contract for a long term collaboration with ADNOC, to enhance non-metallic usage in the UAE. This collaboration enables the joint development of the RTP industry in the UAE, now and in the future. We are extremely proud and happy of signing this contact and look forward to what the future will bring!
  Non-metallics pipes are corrosion-resistant and can withstand harsh environments, while driving lower costs and more sustainable operations, compared to their carbon steel equivalents.
  ADNOC recently signed four new piloting agreements with SoluForce, to advance the use of non-metallics industrial solutions in various hydrocarbon and water service applications.
