Dock & Marine Gangways
A marine gangway is a safe way to access barges and ships. These gangways are commonly made of aluminum because of the material's resistance to corrosion. Gangways for marine applications are commonly used by a ship’s crew or passengers to enter or exit a ship or to load cargo. Safe Harbor manufactures high-quality aluminum marine gangways, and dock gangways, and custom marine access systems for all marine applications.

OSHA Standard Compliance
Aluminum gangways and aluminum marine ramps are fabricated to accommodate the movement of the ship and elevation changes resulting from tides and whether the ship is laden with cargo or empty. All of our aluminum marine gangways meet OSHA and OSHA Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) standards and can be manufactured to meet industry standards if required.
