Why Do You Need Access Systems For Cargo Vessels?
Modern ships are very different from those operating a century ago. The most significant innovations have to do with size, speed, specialization, and the automation of at-sea and in-port activities. These advancements enable vessels to travel faster, farther, and in more challenging conditions. Crew and supervisors aboard these structures face the following dangers:
- Slip-and-fall hazards
- Extreme weather
- Overcrowding
- Restricted access
One thing companies can do to optimize long-distance maritime freight transport is an investment in high-quality equipment. Proper tools improve reliability, safety, and efficiency.

Custom Marine Access Systems
Cargo capacity and access are primary considerations for every shipbuilder, owner, and operator. The more efficient a container stowage solution, the higher the payload a ship can carry.
A cargo ship loading arm or container barge gangway can reduce the cost and emissions per carried load while also increasing profitability and income. Tailor-made shipping cargo ship gangways optimize employee movement and safety as well as time in port.
Our knowledgeable team specializes in the development of durable marine access systems using a proven consultative approach aimed at successfully addressing safety, productivity, ergonomics, and OSHA compliance. We design and fabricate tailor-made access systems for a wide range of marine freight transit applications.

Quality Construction
Constructing a new container vessel is a significant investment, and decisions taken will define the ship’s operational capabilities throughout its lifetime. These structures are subjected to harsh, corrosive environments, and equipment failure is not an option.
That’s why Safe Harbor builds access systems for marine applications from high-quality aluminum, which has a variety of beneficial performance characteristics.
- Robust
- Lightweight
- Resists corrosion
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Easy to fabricate
OSHA Certified Shipping Container Gangways
Maritime workers are at serious risk of injuries when climbing from the shore to the deck of a ship or accessing a cargo hold. That’s why marine access systems play a pivotal role in in-port and at-sea operations.
Improve maritime freight vessel accessibility with access systems from Safe Harbor. All of our products are fabricated from high-quality materials and meet OSHA standards. Custom options are available when operating environments require improved performance characteristics.
