A gangway refers to a platform, a walkway or a ramp connecting the ship to land or other vessels and is used as a means of safe access for the crew. The gangway must be properly rigged and maintained to prevent accidents or injuries and to counter the movement from tidal streams, swell, cargo operations and surge movements caused by ships in the vicinity.

Fire risks are a significant concern for all vessels and emergency preparedness is key to both fire prevention and mitigation. When vessels are docked in port, circumstances may escalate to a point where shoreside firefighters and their assets are needed to control and put out such fires.
Whether the crew intends to fight the fire by themselves or take initial actions while waiting for experienced, contracted marine firefighters to arrive, local firefighters usually respond. It is their community’s port and infrastructure, and they are dedicated to ensuring it is not damaged should the vessel fire get out of control. However, local firefighters can’t possibly be familiar with every vessel’s design and may have little or no training or experience in fighting shipboard fires. Therefore, vessel crews cannot assume that the first shoreside firefighters that arrive are appropriately trained and know how to fight a vessel fire.
