The system is optimized for quick deployment, stable footing and minimum maintenance. Whether you operate tankers, bulk carriers, offshore vessels or passenger ships, our ladders are tailored to your vessel’s structural details and operational profile. From first design to delivery and after-sales support, Veta Gemi provides a complete solution that raises the bar for ship safety equipment.

Options & Customization

Every vessel is different—so are our ladders. We offer custom geometry for sheer and flare, special mounting brackets, hinged or telescopic sections, and platform configurations designed to integrate with your gangway or pilot transfer arrangement. Control systems can be manual, electric or hydraulic, with local push-button panels and limit switches for safe operation. Our engineering team can also prepare 3D/2D integration drawings for your yard package and coordinate with the class surveyor throughout the approval process.

Compliance & Testing

Ladders are produced under ISO 9001 and environmental ISO 14001 management systems, inspected by class when required, and proof-loaded in accordance with SOLAS, ISO 5488and relevant DNV/BV/LR/RINA rules. Welding is performed by certified welders; critical joints are verified by NDT. Final factory acceptance tests cover dimensional accuracy, load capacity, handrail integrity, anti-slip performanceand corrosion protection.
