The ships keep getting bigger and so do the gangways. This new gangway, when connected to a docked ship, automatically rises and falls with the tide.
An Allen Bradley Control System, Screen and VSD’s ensures smooth operation.
The gangway travels up and Down princess Wharf using a generator, when in position it connects to shore power.
Compliance and safety have been a very important part of the project.
The head contractor was Service Engineers and the Consultant BECA.
The project is complete and the client (Ports of Auckland) are
very happy with the finished product
