Gangway System Maintenance in Hewlett - Deck And Safety Equipment

Gangway System Maintenance ensures safe and functional access between vessels and docks. Deck equipment upkeep includes cleaning, inspection, and repair of surfaces and fixtures. Safety equipment maintenance involves regular checks and servicing of life-saving and fire-fighting gear.

Gangway System Maintenance:

- Size: Typically 6m to 30m in length, adjustable width of 0.8m to 1.5m

- Grade: Marine-grade aluminum (5083/6061) or stainless steel (316L)

- Viscosity: N/A (mechanical system)

- Buoyancy: Optional buoyant modules (foam-filled or airtight chambers)

- Material: Aluminum, stainless steel, or galvanized steel with anti-slip decking (rubber/grating)

Deck Equipment:

- Size: Varies by application (e.g., hatches: 600mm x 600mm to 1200mm x 1200mm)

- Grade: ASTM A131 (marine steel) or aluminum alloy

- Viscosity: N/A (structural components)

- Buoyancy: N/A (fixed installations)

- Material: Steel, aluminum, or composite with corrosion-resistant coatings

Safety Equipment:

- Size: Lifebuoys (Ø450mm to Ø800mm), lifelines (25m to 50m)

- Grade: SOLAS-approved or ISO 12401-2 compliant

- Viscosity: N/A (mechanical/floatation devices)

- Buoyancy: ≥14.5kg buoyancy for lifebuoys, 165N for life jackets

- Material: PVC, polyurethane, or closed-cell foam for floatation; stainless steel/high-tensile webbing for harnesses
