Offshore Helicopter Hoist Operations (HHO)
Arrive safely and efficiently at your goal
Do you need a strong, competent and experienced partner to carry out offshore hoist operations? For example, for hoisting passengers, goods, equipment, spare parts or tools down to or up from a ship, an offshore drilling platform, a wind turbine or other types of offshore installations – fixed and/or floating. Or, maybe a technician with tools and spare parts needs to be hoisted down to a wind turbine and picked up again when the task is finished – and then transported further on to other wind turbines in the wind farm.
You have access to these services and competences in cooperation with UNI-FLY.
We have more than 20 years of solid experience with 50,000 completed hoist operations – to a large extent within the offshore renewable energy industry, including Hornsea 01 and 02 offshore wind farms, some of the largest wind farms in the world.
When it comes to offshore helicopter hoist operations, we carry out a variety of tasks, including tasks for energy utility companies and wind turbine manufacturers.
Some of the world’s most qualified HHO teams
Hoisting is a demanding type of operation. The personnel who carry out this type of task are, in addition to prioritising their focus on safety, highly professional and dedicated. They have several demanding educational backgrounds that are maintained and updated on an ongoing basis. This applies to both pilots and hoist operators, who are the members you find in an HHO team.
Your task, therefore, is carried out by some of the world’s best qualified people.
During hoist operations, the team in the helicopter consists of two pilots and one hoist operator.

The helicopters’ Enhanced Performance Configuration results, among other things, in their being able to handle heavier goods than conventional hoist helicopters whilst maintaining rigorous safety criteria.
