Primary purpose of the embarkation ladder
Is to facilitate the safe transfer of personnel, such as pilots, crew members, or passengers, from one vessel to another or from a vessel to the shore. Embarkation ladders are typically constructed with specific requirements to ensure stability, durability, and ease of use in maritime environments.
- The ladder is assembled with two side ropes on each side continuous from the top of the ladder to the bottom.
- Each step is supported by each side rope.
- The four lowest steps are made of rubber material.
- The remaining steps are made of hardwood.
Each side rope has a breaking strength of at least 24kN.
The use of embarkation ladders is regulated by international conventions and guidelines, such as the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) Convention, to maintain the safety of personnel during boarding operations at sea. These ladders play a vital role in maritime operations, ensuring the efficient and secure transfer of individuals between vessels and facilitating smooth and safe operations in ports, harbors, and offshore locations.
