What about a seaplane? Depending on the number of passengers, that might make sense.
I also wondered about Hyperloop tunnel starting under the seabed, which a submersible capsule could dock with, but that seems much less realistic.
- ghaff 6y agoNo real way to get from a seaplane up to the rig deck.
- m4rtink 6y agoWhat about a simple floating pier ? Then elevator or stairs from that to the deck. It's not like you need to park these ex-oil-rigs in the super hardcore sea state areas many of them need to operate when actually drilling.
