Gangway Inspection App runs structured gangway inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each gangway, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see gangway compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Gangway Inspection App runs a structured gangway inspection covering structure, treads, and welds, handrails, stanchions, and rigging, safety net and lifebuoy, winch, wire, and securing, and lighting and non-slip surface, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, gangway findings live on paper and in chat. A gangway fault such as cracked treads or structure slips through. An audit then means rebuilding gangway evidence from folders.
Gangway Inspection App keeps one record per gangway and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each gangway finding is tracked to verified closure. Deck officers and safety teams see gangway completion and overdue actions across the transport, logistics & warehousing portfolio. Every gangway record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Gangway Inspection App?
A comprehensive gangway inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect gangways with structured handrail, tread, and safety-net checks plus defect logging. Your inspection should include sections for structure, treads, and welds; handrails, stanchions, and rigging; and safety net and lifebuoy, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Gangway Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps gangway inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned gangway template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, gangway, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the gangway.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially cracked treads or structure, loose handrails or rigging, missing safety net or lifebuoy, winch or wire faults.
For every failed gangway item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the gangway form. The gangway report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Gangway Inspection Cover?
A gangway inspection covers structure, treads, and welds, handrails, stanchions, and rigging, safety net and lifebuoy, winch, wire, and securing, lighting and non-slip surface, and angle, load rating, and portable fittings. Deck officers and safety teams capture photo evidence on each gangway point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the gangway round off. So every gangway record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

How Gangway Inspection App Runs a Gangway Inspection
Step 1
Define and Deploy
Build the gangway template with objective pass-fail criteria and schedule it to mobile teams.
Step 2
Capture and Verify
Inspectors run the inspection with photo evidence on each finding, such as cracked treads or structure, loose handrails or rigging, missing safety net or lifebuoy, winch or wire faults, and failed items raise corrective actions.
Step 3
Report and Improve
Dashboards built on verified gangway data reveal recurring patterns on the gangway across every site.

What Gangway Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Gangway work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Gangway Inspection App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Assigned contractor signs off the gangway fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the gangway is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the gangway defect is marked closed. Whether the gangway work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor gangway fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which gangway partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any gangway action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened gangway actions linked back to the original finding
You find out about a gangway problem from a complaint
There is no live view of gangway status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the gangway is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.
Problem
No live view of gangway status across sites
Gangway problems surface as complaints, not as data
Gangway risk is invisible until it becomes an incident
Solution
Live multi-site dashboard of gangway completion and open issues
Gangway risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
Configurable dashboards filter gangway results by site and date
Gangway checks signed off on paper with no proof the gangway was actually checked
A gangway inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the gangway was actually checked, and whether cracked treads or structure, loose handrails or rigging, missing safety net or lifebuoy, winch or wire faults were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the gangway passed.
Problem
Gangway checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm cracked treads or structure, loose handrails or rigging, missing safety net or lifebuoy, winch or wire faults were actually inspected
Gangway findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital gangway form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every gangway check
Gangway findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Gangway Inspection App check on a gangway inspection?
Gangway Inspection App runs a structured gangway inspection covering structure, treads, and welds, handrails, stanchions, and rigging, safety net and lifebuoy, winch, wire, and securing, and lighting and non-slip surface. Each point is captured on mobile with photo evidence against it, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so deck officers and safety teams work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.
Which gangway defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection targets the gangway failures that matter most: cracked treads or structure, loose handrails or rigging, missing safety net or lifebuoy, and winch or wire faults. Left unchecked, a fault such as cracked treads or structure can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so deck officers and safety teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Gangway Inspection App support for gangway work?
Gangway Inspection App keeps gangway checks aligned to SOLAS access standards and class survey standards. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, deck officers and safety teams pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run gangway checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Gangway Inspection App is offline-first: teams complete gangway checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So deck officers and safety teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a gangway inspection was completed?
Every completed gangway inspection carries tread and structure photo, handrail and net photo, and securing photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, deck officers and safety teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
