Access systems to vessels, also known as gangways, are one of these critical elements. Among them, the telescopic gangway has emerged as one of the most advanced and versatile solutions to ensure safe transit between land and ship. But what exactly is it? And why are so many industrial and energy terminals adopting this technology?  How does a telescopic gangway work? A telescopic gangway is an extendable walkway between the dock and the vessel, designed to ensure safe transit—even when there are differences in elevation between dock and ship, tidal variations, or vessel movement. What sets it apart from other maritime gangways is its telescopic capacity, allowing it to adjust its length safely and precisely. The structure consists of sliding steel or aluminum sections that extend or retract depending on the operational need. This versatility allows the walkway to follow the ship’s movement without compromising the safety of those on board—especially crucial in high-traffic terminals handling a variety of vessels. Thanks to systems such as link-driven chains—electrical or hydraulic—developed by Prosertek, the gangway can extend, retract, rotate horizontally, or elevate with pinpoint precision, even in adverse weather conditions. This engineering approach combines structural strength […]
