The crew turned to Akerboom, the trusted OEM for yacht equipment. The gangway received the latest upgrades and systems Akerboom nowadays implements in new build Feadships, including new and modern hydraulic and electrical systems.

The gangway now runs more smoothly than ever, using the newest PLC controller with an electrical frequency drive to create well-measured oil flows. The new control software has a very user-friendly menu and allows the user to locate very specifically the cause of a problem. Also, Akerboom can assist remotely to solve any problems. From now on, the crew has one point of contact for the complete mechanical, hydraulic and electrical system at Akerboom Yacht Service. As always, the project is backed with a warranty period on the complete system.
