EXAMINATION, TESTING & CERTIFICATION OF SHIPS GANGWAYS, ONBOARD LIFTING EQUIPMENT AND ASSOCIATED LIFTING ACCESSORIES

CalMac Ferries Ltd requires an external supplier(s) to ensure that all Ships Gangways, Onboard Lifting Equipment, and Associated Lifting Accessories are and remain compliant with both legal and contractual requirements. CFL must ensure that all gangways under their responsibility and currently used at ports serviced by the fleet are assessed as safe for use and fit for purpose at all times. This is also the case for all lifting equipment used onboard the vessels and all associated lifting accessories. This will be achieved by conducting mandatory six-monthly, annual, or five-yearly testing as required for the type of equipment.
