Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of ship facilities and relates to a ship boarding ladder and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ships are a great invention that allows people to cross waters. When a small ship docks, the side of the ship can be flush with the dock, making it convenient for people to get on and off. When medium and large ships dock, the height difference between the side of the ship and the dock is large, and a boarding ladder needs to be set up between the side of the ship and the dock to facilitate people to get on and off. At the dock near the sea, the ocean surge is large, and the ship will float up and down with the waves when docked. The relative height difference between the side of the ship and the dock cannot remain stable.
