LAPASSERELLA - ELECTRIC SYSTEM Since 1967 the Hydraulic Gangway has been the product that has best presented us . Today marks a milestone as we are ready to go one step further and allow you to sail into a GREENER future thanks to the fully electric operation ! Now let’s have a closer look at the key innovative features that make LaPasserella different from existing gangways. IT’S ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY WITH ELECTRIC POWER Having LaPasserella means that there is no hydraulic control unit and therefore there is no oil in the system itself or in the engine room. Furthermore, the use of potentially polluting materials such as plastic or rubber pipes is reduced. IT’S LIGHTWEIGHT It weighs less since there is no need for the hydraulic power unit. On average it weighs 30 kg less than a traditional gangway! And this also means there is more space in the engine room. This components reduction leads to a number of “savings”: on the kilos on board, on the installation costs and on the maintenance costs. To this we can add an automatic reduction in fuel consumption, thereby reducing the impact on the marine environment. IT’S ENERGY EFFICIENT Thanks to LaPasserella the amount of energy used on board is reduced since the hydraulic power of the engine is not required and there are therefore cables with reduced dimensions. Energy is optimised, since the electronic control panel uses less current to operate the gangway, thereby avoiding excessive stress on the system or on the vessel. It can be operated with either a 12 Vdc or a 24 Vdc power supply. IT’S A VERY QUIET SYSTEM The system is of course quieter since it is operated electrically.
