Ship and Barge Access Systems

Carbis marine access systems provide fall-protected access from docks to ships and barges that move constantly and sit at changing tide levels. Systems include steady marine gangways with handrails and ship towers that allow access to vessels of any height. A referenced grain terminal project combined a stationary ship tower with a hydraulic pivoting marine gangway.

Key features

• Equipment that adjusts to variations in tide and barge movement
• Telescoping features for added versatility
• Crane, pneumatic or hydraulic operation
• Custom fitting to docks and around existing obstructions
• Designed to meet OSHA Shipyard Employment gangway practices

Applications

Loading of chemical and petroleum barges, container barges and large tankers at marine terminals, where accident downtime and extra mooring costs are significant.
