An offshore transfer system for transferring persons and/or cargo between a transfer vessel and an offshore object, includes the transfer vessel having a docking position with a mooring element. The offshore object includes a docking arm, in particular a gangway, that at a free end is provided with a coupling device. The docking position on the transfer vessel has its mooring element at least partly compensated for transfer vessel motions, at least during a docking operation, and includes one or more force actuators for moving the mooring element relative to the transfer vessel, one or more sensors for detecting motions of the transfer vessel, and a control unit for driving the one or more force actuators such that the motions of the transfer vessel get at least partly compensated for the mooring element.
