Accessible Gangways for Vessel Access
To ensure that all individuals, including those with reduced mobility, can safely board vessels, access walkways should be designed to be wide, secure, and supportive. This includes handrails, non-slip surfaces, and reserved parking for accessible vehicles.
- Walkways must be wide enough for wheelchair access, with handrails and non-slip surfaces.
- Ensure the availability of vertical elevators, reserved parking spaces on car decks, and mobile ramps for vehicle access.
- Provide intercom systems at accessible parking areas for assistance requests.
