What is ISO 7061 - Aluminium shore gangways about?
ISO 7061 is an international standard on ships and marine technology that specifies requirements for aluminium shore gangways.
ISO 7061 applies to gangways designed to be carried onboard ships, to provide a lightweight, convenient and safe means of access from ship to shore, for use primarily by the ship’s crew. These gangways may also be used for access from ship to ship when conditions are favourable.
ISO 7061 applies to gangways suitable for use horizontally or inclined up to an angle of 30° from the horizontal. For angles of inclination less than 55°, special consideration of the design of steps and decking may be necessary.
