Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2623413A1] The invention is directed to a method and system of providing access between a floating vessel and a landing position of a marine structure by performing the following steps: (a) positioning the vessel near the marine structure, (b) picking up two parts of a mooring cable, which mooring cable extends from the marine structure and which mooring cable can run freely via a position at the landing position of the marine structure, (c) attaching one part end of the mooring cable to the extendable end of an telescopically extendable bridge, which bridge is attached at or near its other end to the floating vessel and attaching the second part of the mooring cable to a winch fixed to the floating vessel, (d) winding in the winch such that the extendable end of the bridge is pulled towards the landing position until the extendable end of the bridge reaches the landing position and (e) maintaining a pull force on the mooring cable such that the extendable end of the bridge remains positioned at the landing position enabling safe access between the floating vessel and the marine structure.
