Ships Gangway – Chowder Bay
Scope of Work: Design and construct a 22 m aluminium ships gangway
Key Elements: ISO7061 compliance, 30° max incline, winchable wharf positioning
Project Details
DWW Engineering designed and constructed an aluminium ships gangway for Chowder Bay, delivering a 22-metre access system for safe vessel embarkation and disembarkation. This project was the longest gangway DWW had produced at the time and was designed to operate at a maximum incline of 30 degrees.
Built to DWW’s in-house gangway design approach, the gangway conforms to ISO7061 (Gangways for Sea-Going Vessels). It also includes practical features to support day-to-day operations on the wharf, including the ability to be winched along the wharf between the vessel and its storage position, and an anti-slip walking surface for added safety. The mounting arrangement hooks over the ship’s hawser rail to suit a range of vessels that may dock at the facility.
