Abstract (en)

An offshore transfer system for transferring persons and/or cargo between a transfer vessel (TV) and an offshore object, wherein the transfer vessel (TV) comprises a docking position (DP) with a mooring element (ME), and wherein the offshore object comprises a docking arm, in particular a gangway (GW), that at a free end is provided with a coupling device (CD). The docking position (DP) on the transfer vessel (TV) has its mooring element (ME) at least partly compensated for transfer vessel motions, at least during a docking operation, and comprises one or more force actuators for moving the mooring element (ME) relative to the transfer vessel (TV), one or more sensors for detecting motions of the transfer vessel (TV), and a control unit for driving the one or more force actuators such that the motions of the transfer vessel (TV) get at least partly compensated for the mooring element (ME).
