Gangways - Deck Machinery and Hull Equipment
Marine gangways are portable or fixed access structures providing safe transfer between a vessel and shore, quay, barge, or another vessel. Typical construction uses marine-grade aluminium or steel with non-slip decking, handrails, safety nets, and vessel-side securing arrangements.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Gangways for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.
