Gangway Tower
What Are Ship Gangway Systems?
Gangway Systems are used to enable personnel and crew a safe access to ship and shore. One of the most important safety equipment, now almost necessary at all major ports. Gangways are designed to follow the ships movements due to changing tides and changing in draft during loading and discharge, as well as the ship’s surge, sway, and heave motions. Each Gangway is custom designed for its customers suitable for the largest ULCC (Ultra Large Crude Carries) to the smallest Barges.
Gangways facilitate safe movement of personnel and materials from ship to shore while ship docked. Cranes can be integrated into Gangways for movement of materials and ships spares.
