Maritime Access Systems

Monarch Access provides specialist maritime access systems for ship, dockside, storage tank and tank farm maintenance projects across the UK.

Our suspended access systems have been successfully used within the holds of ships, with modular equipment that can be quickly and easily transferred from hold to hold. This makes them a practical temporary access solution for inspection, maintenance and remedial works in demanding maritime environments.

Suspended Access Systems for Ship Holds

Ship holds can present complex access challenges due to their size, structure and working conditions. Monarch Access can provide suspended access systems designed to support safe and efficient access within internal ship holds.

The modular nature of the equipment allows systems to be moved between holds, helping project teams maintain productivity while reducing unnecessary disruption during planned works.

Ship Hull and Dry Dock Access

Monarch Access has carried out projects where cradles were pre-installed to the sides of a ship’s hull from the dockside before the ship entered dry dock.

This approach allows work to commence immediately once the ship has entered dry dock, helping to minimise downtime and support efficient project delivery.

Storage Tank and Tank Farm Maintenance Access

In addition to ship access systems, Monarch Access provides temporary access solutions for storage tanks and tank farm maintenance.

Our access systems can support inspection, maintenance and remedial works where safe access is required to large industrial or maritime storage structures.

Maritime Access for Maintenance and Inspection

Maritime and dockside environments often require specialist access planning. Monarch Access can advise on suitable temporary access systems for projects involving:

  • Ship holds
  • Ship hulls
  • Dry dock access
  • Dockside works
  • Storage tanks
  • Tank farm maintenance
  • Inspection works
  • Maintenance and remedial projects
