BRIEF: Design – Prototype – Fabricate
A compliant safe gangway for the new revolutionary Transverse Tug fleet, to deliver optimum crew safety.
MMG Ocean has collaborated with Svitzer, the world’s leading tug operators, on the design, prototyping and production of a custom designed gangway for Svitzer Transverse.
Transverse is Svitzer’s new tug design, and the entire Svitzer fleet will be replaced with this new versatile and more sustainable design. Svitzer is also seeking to reach new heights in relation to crew safety with the Transverse Gangway.
The design phase progressed in parallel with tug design from mid-2021 to mid-2023.
The MMG Transverse gangway prototype was produced in late 2023 and fitted in early 2024. All function testing and crew acceptance testing has been entirely successful.
This now delivers optimum crew safety for all Transverse crew.
