Gangway & Accommodation Ladder Angle Indicator
Every crew transfer, every port call, every embarkation/disembarkation operation hinges on one critical detail: the safe angle of the gangway and accommodation ladder.
For decades, SOLAS regulations have set clear standards: gangways must not exceed 30° from horizontal, while accommodation ladders are limited to 55° unless specifically designed otherwise. Yet tidal shifts, draft changes, and wind-driven vessel movement make maintaining these safe angles a constant, real-time challenge for seafarers. That's where our Stainless Steel Gangway & Accommodation Ladder Angle Indicator steps in.
Why This Matters
Regulatory Compliance: Directly aligns with SOLAS requirements, providing a permanent, visual verification for Port State Control inspections and internal audits.
Instant Safety Feedback: The color-coded scale (green for safe operating ranges, red for caution zones) and weighted pointer give crew a clear, at-a-glance reading-no guesswork, no complicated calculations, even in low light or rough conditions.
Built to Withstand the Elements: Crafted from marine-grade stainless steel, it resists corrosion, vibration, and saltwater spray, ensuring reliability in the harshest port environments.
Dual-Use Design: The dual-panel layout accommodates both gangway (30° max) and accommodation ladder (55° max) operations, eliminating the need for separate indicators
