Heave compensation, also known as wave compensation, is a motion-control technology specifically designed to counter vertical movement - known as heave - that occurs when lifting equipment operates from or towards a floating vessel. It helps ensure that loads remain stable during marine operations, even when waves cause the vessel to rise and fall.

The green energy transition is the leading global priority. Offshore wind is an important contributor to green energy, and large-scale development of offshore wind energy is therefore underway all over the globe. Ambitions are high, and installation speed and cost efficiency are crucial when developing offshore wind fields. Safelink’s inline active heave compensator (IAHC) is a perfect match for these ambitions.

Safelink wins important contracts and consolidates its position as market leader in hook-based heave compensation in the offshore wind market. Safelink once again appears to have developed an industry standard with its innovative hook-based active heave compensators (AHCs) for lifting operations and installation in the markets for offshore wind and oil and gas.
