Abstract

The present application discloses a boarding apparatus for an offshore platform, including a lifting apparatus and a track structure; the track structure is connected to a platform main body of the offshore platform and extends beyond the platform main body; the lifting apparatus is connected to the track structure, and the lifting apparatus is at least movable along the track structure with a moored sea transporting apparatus; the lifting apparatus includes a ride-on assembly for lifting transportation of a ride-on object between the track structure and the sea transporting apparatus. This thus overcomes the impossibility of boarding caused by marine environmental factors and improves boarding efficiency, and avoids damage caused by the collision between the sea transporting apparatus and the offshore platform when the sea transporting apparatus is berthed at the platform.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:
