Crew transfers offshore are all about routine, discipline, and trust in the equipment. These images show the daily process of moving between vessel and platform via the Walk-to-Work bridge.

The W2W system is straightforward in purpose: to give workers safe access. These photographs focus less on the structure and more on the people — the steady flow of personnel, kit bags in hand, crossing in both directions. It’s a reminder that offshore operations are built on repetition and reliability, not just engineering.
