Abstract On container and other maritime vessels personnel are required from time to time to walk or perform work on the top of containers. There is frequently a gap between containers which constitutes a trip or fall hazard to workers who may be required to move across the container tops from container to container. The present invention describes a lightweight and moveable magnetically anchored bridging gangway to bridge such gaps and to allow personnel to pass across in safety. As the steel panels of such containers frequently have distortions and dents a flexible magnet mounting arrangement assists in ensuring maximised magnetic clamping to secure the walkway. The bridging gangway is provided with a wheel or wheels for easy movement and manouevering. U, a, I .6] .t6 U) 0) cc *1~
