In June 2010 the first guests in Port of Kapellskär came ashore via modern gangway and walkway system. It was designed, produced and assembled by Estonian company Ilmarine AS.
In 2009, Ilmarine won international tender to deliver new passenger facilities in one of the Ports of Stockholm group’s harbour. Two facts made the project challenging. The walkway is based on pile foundations surrounded by water. And the existing facilities were in continuous operation while newbuilding works were performed.
STATE-OF-THE-ART GANGWAY
An automatic gangway was the major part of the new facilities. This state-of-the-art machine was developed in co-operation with Tallinn University of Technology. The design stands at the cutting edge and has significant advantages. Such as:
- A safety and stabilising system, that monitors the position of the ship´s deck and follows its movements;
- 3 movement axes, which enable to accommodate several types of ships;
- A control box and remote control unit that provide easy operation of the gangway;
- The gangway is being held in the air by hydraulic cylinders without any support legs;
- Optimised structures that give maximum rigidity with minimum weight.

Ilmarine is proud to be committed to an ongoing P&P factory modernisation project in Russia. It is not just “jet another project”. We were subcontracted to produce modules of advanced equipment. Where latest technologies and developments were applied.
During 5-years’ co-operation with Scandinavian suppliers of relevant equipment we have been delivering machines to Europe, Asia, North and South Americas. It can be stated that the industry constantly demands higher standards within terms of safety, efficiency and reliability.
