At AISTER, we know that accommodation ladders and gangways for embarkation are key to the operation of any vessel, from luxury cruise liners, seismic and research vessels through to cargo vessels, container vessels and mega yachts, which is why we aim to offer the fastest possible response to customer orders. We manufacture aluminium accommodation ladders and gangways, taking full advantage of this lightweight, manageable and strong material. Safe accommodation ladders At AISTER, we are experts in manufacturing strong, versatile and low-maintenance accommodation ladders and gangways for embarkation. Our models can be fitted with removable or folding handrails using ropes or chains. Our products offer three main advantages: Safety: both accommodation ladders and gangways for embarkation are designed to meet the required IMO standard (ISO 5488:2015, MSC.1/ Circ. 1331 and EN 14206) and comply with all quality and safety requirements. Attention to detail is crucial in ensuring the crew can embark and disembark safely and quickly, avoiding accidents through the use of safety elements, such as protective netting for falls, textured steps and footholds in gangplanks. Custom-designed Lightweight: Aluminium is lighter than steel, allowing construction to the same level of structural strength but with a 30% reduction in weight. Custom-designed: At AISTER, we have our own designs that meet quality standards. However, we can also adapt to meet our customers’ needs and our technical office is on-hand to produce custom designs that meet the requirements of any classification society. Our designs can also include other components, such as access ladders and davits.
