Ampelmann and Capptions: EHS Management in Heavy Industry
July 18, 2026
Introducing Ampelmann
Ampelmann, the leading provider of motion-compensated gangways, operates over 60 systems worldwide, mainly in the oil, gas, and wind sectors. Their commitment to safety and efficiency in challenging offshore environments is paramount, the kind of environment where the margin for a missed inspection or an unresolved non-conformity is close to zero.
The challenge
In high-stakes industries like offshore oil, gas, and wind, effective EHS management is critical. Before Capptions, Ampelmann faced challenges managing diverse safety processes efficiently across a fleet of systems deployed at sites around the world.
Capptions' impact
- Digital integration - Added digital toolbox talks, risk assessments, non-conformity reports, and site visits, all through configurable Capptions forms and workflows.
- Efficient EHS management - Streamlined HSE department operations, cutting down on the manual coordination that comes with running safety processes across a global, offshore fleet.
- Enhanced reporting - Provided precise data reporting to management, crucial for informed decision-making about where to focus safety attention next.
The results
Ampelmann's experience with Capptions shows what digital EHS tools can do for operators in genuinely high-risk environments. Offshore oil, gas, and wind operations share much of the same regulatory logic that governs Seveso and BRZO-classified onshore sites: documented risk assessments, traceable corrective actions, and a safety management system that can prove it works, not just describe how it should. Their journey is a useful reference point for EHS Managers and CEOs in similar high-risk industries, showing how moving safety processes onto a single digital platform improves both safety outcomes and day-to-day operational efficiency.
