Frequently Asked Questions
What access systems does Star Aluminium supply for ports and shipyards?
Star Aluminium supplies a range of maritime access solutions including custom-engineered gangways, boarding steps, adjustable work platforms and modular walkways. Each system is designed to meet the specific access requirements of vessel types, wharf configurations and dry dock environments.
Are your access systems suitable for saltwater and coastal environments?
Yes. Star Aluminium uses high-grade aluminium alloy throughout its product range. Aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion, making it well suited for the high-humidity, salt-spray and wet conditions typical of port and shipyard environments. This reduces maintenance requirements and supports long-term structural integrity.
Can gangways be custom-engineered for specific vessel types or berth configurations?
Yes. Star Aluminium's engineering team designs and manufactures custom gangways and boarding systems to match the specific geometry of individual vessels and berth layouts. All custom solutions are produced within our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system.
Do Star Aluminium maritime access systems comply with Australian Standards?
Yes. All products are manufactured to applicable Australian and New Zealand Standards (AS/NZS) for access equipment and are supplied with a compliance plate and production documentation. This supports the safety management and WHS documentation requirements of port operators and vessel owners.
What warranty applies to maritime access equipment?
Standard Star Aluminium products are covered by the Lifetime Structural Warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Custom-engineered gangways and marine access systems are warranted under the terms agreed at the time of order.
