A gangway 30 for accessing an offshore structure, such as a wind turbine, from water level comprises an upper end for connecting to a deck level 28 of the offshore structure; a lower end for providing access to the gangway from a vessel at water level and walkways 32, 34 that extend from the upper end to the lower end in zig-zag fashion with the centre of gravity of the walkways horizontally offset from the upper end; wherein the walkways are arranged to rotate relative to one another such that the gangway may be moved between an extended configuration and a retracted configuration. The gangway further comprises a coupling 42 connected to the lower end for connection to a generally vertical element 10 of the offshore structure to permit vertical movement of the lower end relative to the offshore structure but prevent any horizontal movement. A method of manufacturing the gangway is also claimed. |
