Offshore Transfer Devices Ltd

About

Offshore Transfer Devices Ltd, based in Bolton, manufactures the TDD (Transfer Device), a hydraulic system designed to improve safety during personnel and cargo transfers between vessels and offshore structures in challenging sea conditions.

The device uses pivoting jaws that grip cylindrical fender tubes, enabling stable docking even in wave heights up to 3.1 metres—substantially higher than conventional methods allow.

The TDD has been trialled on crew transfer vessels, offshore wind farms, pilot boats, and support vessels for oil and gas operations. The system accommodates all six motions of freedom (heave, pitch, roll, yaw, sway and surge) and can be fitted as a front-mounted tow hitch or integrated with motion-compensated gangways. Field trials conducted at EON's Scroby Sands Offshore Wind Farm in 2017 demonstrated the device's performance in adverse conditions.
