Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies ( ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non -governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission ( IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization .
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the 1SO/ IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/ IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org /directives).

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 7061: 2015 ( E)

Ships and marine technology — Aluminium shore

gangways for seagoing vessels

1 Scope
This Internationa ] Standard specifies requirements for aluminium shore gangways.
This International Standard applies to gangways designed to be carried on board ships, to provide a
lightweight, convenient and safe means of access from ship to shore, for use primarily by the ship’s
crew. These gangways may also be used for access from ship to ship when conditions are favourable .
This International Standard applies to gangways suitable for use horizontally or inclined up to an angle
of 30° from the horizontal. For angles of inclination less than 55°, special consideration of the design of
steps and decking may be necessary.
The gangways to which this International Standard applies are not intended to carry wheeled traffic
such as loaded trolleys.
Users of this International Standard, while observing its requirements, should , at the same time,
ensure compliance with any statutory requirements, rules and regulations, applicable to the
individual ship concerned.

3 Types
Gangway can be designed into two types: decking plate gangway and anti-slip steps gangway. The
gangway body can be designed as one section, which can also be designed as two sections as required.

3.1 Type A decking gangway

The surface of type A gangway is provided with the decking plate and anti-slip steps, with the maximum
inclination degree of 30° (see Figure 1).

3.2 Type B anti -slip arc steps gangway

This surface is designed directly as anti-slip arc step to position side stringers and support loading ,
the lower side of which is equipped with a guard board , with the maximum inclination degree of 55°,
defined as type B gangway.

4 Definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definitions apply.

4.1 gangway
Bridge structure to allow safe embarkation and disembarkation from ship to shore or access to
another ship .
4.2 side stringer
Longitudinal-strength member of the gangway to which the cross-members, stanchions, roller or
wheels and the lifting lugs, etc. are attached.

4.3 cross- member

Part that holds the side stringer in position, and provides support for the decking.

4.4 decking
Flat-topped corrugated section or plate serving as the gangway floor.

4.5 step

Batten or small section fitted proud of the decking, or anti-slip arc material fixed directly at both
sides of stringers for load bearing to give better foot grip when the gangway is inclined from the
horizontal position.

4.6 guard rail

Hand and intermediate guide, supported by stanchions, to prevent people falling from the gangway.

4.7 anti-slip securing parts

Hooked to the hook plate, eye pad or angle section at the upper end of side stringer, so as to facilitate the
gangway’s firm connection with shipboard structure to avoid slip.

4.8 removable connection parts

Hooked to the side stringer at the end of 2 parted sections of gangway, facilitating the securing parts’
disconnection and connection, so as to connect firmly the 2 parted section of gangway as 1 gangway, or
to disconnect 1 complete gangway into 2 sections.

5 Dimensions

5.1 The dimensions of an aluminium shore gangway type A shall be in accordance with Figure 1. The
minimum overall length, L, shall be 2 m, with optional increments of approximately 0,5 m up to a length
of 9 m. For gangways longer than 9 m, the increments shall be approximately 1 m in length, until the
desired overall length is attained.

8.3 Care shall be taken in the preparation, riveting, bolting or welding of aluminium or steel structures
to ensure that the permissible design stresses are not exceeded.

9 Acceptance tests
The following tests shall be carried out at the manufacturer’s works.

9.1 Type test

9.1.1 One gangway of the longest design length for each stringer type shall be tested by the methods
given below and a test certificate made available to the purchaser on request.

9.1.2 The deflection due to loading (according to T2) shall not exceed the value of the overall length
divided by 75 .
.
9.1 3 Each gangway submitted for type test shall be fully assembled with all fittings and subjected to
the tests given in 9.3.1 to 9.3.3.

9.2 Individual test

Individual gangways manufactured to a design which has been satisfactorily type-tested in accordance
with 2J. shall be subjected to the tests given in 9.3.1 and 9.3.3. if requested by the purchaser.

9.3 Test methods

9.3.1 Lifting

Lift the gangway by means of the lifting lugs provided. After the test there shall be no evidence of strain
to the lugs or the adjacent structure.

9.3.2 Initial sag

Initial sag, Y, is determined by Formula (1):
Y = ( YI + Y 2) / 2 (1)

In the case of individual testing, the initial sag shall not be greater than that recorded for the type test.

9.3 3 . Deflection under load

With the gangway still supported as in 9.3. 2 . carry out the deflection test immediately after the results
of initial sag are determined. Apply, without shock, a uniform load equivalent to 4 000 N /m 2 to the
longitudinal centerline of the decking. The load shall be arranged from a selection of conveniently sized
sandbags or other material that will not damage the gangway, and located at equally spaced intervals
of not more than 1 m. Where the design incorporates individual decking plates, apply a load equivalent
to 4000 N /m 2 to each plate. Maintain the test load for 15 min before the total deflection of the gangway
at each side stringer is measured. The type B gangway shall be loaded with a load equivalent to 735 N
on every step.

ISO 7061:2015 ( E)

The maximum deflection for each side stringer shall be measured as the maximum vertical distance
between the string or wire stretched tightly between the support points and the base of the gangway.
The average of the two readings, Y'i and Y'2, is taken as the total deflection YT:

YT = ( Y; + Y' ) / 2 ( 2)

The deflection due to loading, AY, shall be calculated by subtracting the initial sag from the total
deflection as in Formula (3):

; ;
A Y = ( Y + Y ) / 2 - (Y1 + Y2 ) / 2 ( 3)

10 Inspections

10.1 Gangways subjected to a type test shall be inspected after testing to ensure that there are no signs
of residual weakness or damage.

10.2 All gangways shall be visually checked after testing to ensure the following:
a) there is no distortion of the sideframes;
b) -
the decking or anti slip steps are adequately secured;
c) the roller or wheels revolve freely;
d ) if applicable, the stanchions, handrail and intermediate guides can be easily erected in position;
e) removable fittings for rigid joints can be properly stowed when the gangway is dismantled;
f) the rating plate is affixed and correct.

11 Marking
-
According to the requirement of SOLAS regulation 11-1/3 9, each gangway in accordance with this
International Standard shall be permanently marked by means of a rating plate prominently displayed.
