Gangway Tower

Gangway Tower is a device for operators of working at site and crews to pass through board and off-board safely in the process of oil tanker's berthing at large modern harbor. It instead of traditional boarding device.
 

During the development of the oil tanker harbor, the modern dock for heavy oil tanker entering, especially the dock sets up with isolated mound, its surface aren’t continuous and its elevation is higher than normal one. The oil tanker has serious jouncing, floating in higher frequency and its scope is very big during the oil tanker is moored. The problem is hard to be solved easily by the tanker’s own ladder because of  the distance between oil tanker and the edge of dock. To speed up the loading and unloading process and to ensure the safety of the loaders and crews, it is natural for the modern large oil tanker to replace own ladder with our Gangway Tower. Just like Loading Arm, Gangway Tower becomes irreplaceable advanced equipment being used more and more harbors.
 

Although having simple function, Gangway Tower needs good technological performance considering its surrounding circumstance. In order to suit the queasy condition and some unexpected things between ship and dock, the harbor’s hydrology and meteorology and a lot of detail information relevant possible berthing ships should be analyzed carefully, to decide its suitable working conditions and choose correct construction and reliable safeguard. Only alone doing so, we can get the anticipative purpose.
 

There are several models of boarding ladders manufactured by SEED.
 

The boarding ladder consists of a standing column, accommodation ladder and other supplementary constructions. The accommodation ladder even has the function of up and down, bending, turning around, and the adjustment of the front ladder.
 

Mechanical or hydraulic drive system is usually used as drive system for Gangway Tower. Many kinds of safe protector can be set according to client’s requirement in order to ensure the normal work of transmission mechanism. Explosive-proof electric-device can also be used base on the flash point of the oil.
