If the ladder is parallel to the ship, it has to have an upper platform. Upper platforms are mostly turnable. The lower platform (or the ladder itself) hangs on a bail and can be lifted as required. [citation needed] To prevent damage to boats going under the ladder as the water level rises and falls, a boat fender is fitted to the end of the ...
Marine Transfer Operations are conducted at many ports around the world between tanker ships, barges, and marine terminals.Specifically, once the marine vessel is secure at the dock a loading arm or transfer hose is connected between a valve header on the dock and the manifold header on the vessel.
The tanker is designed to be towed by a 5-ton, 6x6 truck tractor or similar vehicle equipped with a fifth wheel. The M970 can be loaded through the bottom or through the top fill openings.

Four of eight marine loading arms connected to two oil tankers [1]. A marine loading arm, also known as a mechanical loading arm, loading arm, or MLA is a mechanical arm consisting of articulated steel pipes that connect a tankship such as an oil tanker or chemical tanker to a cargo terminal.
Oil tankers generally have from 8 to 12 tanks. [1] Each tank is split into two or three independent compartments by fore-and-aft bulkheads. [1] The tanks are numbered with tank one being the forwardmost. Individual compartments are referred to by the tank number and the athwartships position, such as "one port", "three starboard", or "six ...
