What is a floating dock?
A floating dock is just what it says. A floating dock is not fixed at a certain height or level. This dock type has several advantages over a fixed dock. Whatever your reason, floating dock systems are the smart choice. They're safer, easier to install and remove, and will last longer than traditional docks. Floating docks save you time and money. Not to mention they’ll keep you and your property safe during unexpected situations.
Generally speaking, a floating dock system consists of a gangway (ramp), walkway, finger, decking, pile, pontoon, and other dock accessories.
Gangway/Ramp:
The gangway is the means of getting on and off a ship. In general shipping terms, it refers to a walkway or bridge connecting the vessel to land. The proper type and size are very important to make a safe and reasonable slope. Appropriate consideration should be given to this component when considering a floating dock. A gangway with rollers will also help the structures adapt to the variable water levels.
What is the access gangway?
Gangways are designed to follow the ship's movements due to changing tides and changes in the draft during loading and discharge, as well as the ship's surge, sway and heave motions. The access gangway systems can be fully automatic in standard execution or tailor-made to meet your requirements.
What is the difference between gangway and accommodation ladder?
Gangways are mandatory for ships over 30 meters in length. Gangways must only be rigged on railings that are reinforced for this purpose. Accommodation Ladders are rigged in the fore and aft direction of the ship and face astern.
