Whether it's a vessel, barge or jetty, creating a safe link between a floating object and the shore is a critical part in accessibility. Wave motion and tides have an effect on the position of the floating object, and thus the connection with the shore. If those changing conditions are not taken into account in the design and fixation of the linking element, this could seriously affect the safety of anything crossing over.

Marine Services offers a wide range of gangways and loading ramp solutions to get on and off any floating object under any condition. Standard types include gangways for pedestrians in several lengths, gangways for wheelchairs, bikes and the like, and rope ladders for vertical descents. Other examples are:

• Access ramps to a pontoon bridge created for heavy traffic like busses and emergency services
• Gangways to vessels with extreme differences between the shore and the freeboard
• Gangways to vessels and jetty's under extreme tidal conditions
