Lift door upgrades

Description

We have a potential problem in one of our ongoing passenger shipbuilding projects for integration of a semi-watertight door in a passenger lift due to ship stability requirements. Currently, the installation of the lifts has not started yet, but we want to upgrade our configuration by removing the existing shaft doors and fit a semi-watertight door instead. This new semi-watertight door will be a sliding door that is interlocked to the lift cabin doors so that it can only open when the lift is at that level. It is not possible to fit the new semi-watertight door inboard of the car deck bulkhead since there is insufficient clearance to the mezzanine deck ramps. In short, we are struggling with the original lift manufacturer`s pace and reaction to our requests, we have seen your website and are interested in your “manufacturer-independent solutions” in terms of modernising/upgrading marine lifts. Would you be interested in such a project and go for detailed discussions?
