When you need to get on or off a vessel, you need MarinaStep

MarinaStep offers three specific gangway styles to assure ma-rine users safe access solutions to fit their different, unique sites and operating conditions: the Stage Gangway (SG Series), Truss Gangway (TG Series), and Self-adjusting Stairs (SAS Series). Our advanced corrosion-resistant marine-grade aluminum vessel gangways are designed for OHSA compliant worker safety, durability and reliability in marine environments and are built to order to your required length and specifications. With a full engineering staff behind them, they’re built to last, too. Constructed of durable aluminum, galvanized or stainless steel, our vessel gangways are available in many sizes, and special-purpose gangways exceeding standard measurements can be de-signed to your exact specifications.
