Dutch manufacturers MTQ Products BV and Ned Marine Services BV have joined forces. With this acquisition, Ned Marine expands its capabilities to design and deliver high-quality aluminium products (esp. gangways, ladders and bridges) for the maritime and offshore industries, as well as for land-based construction companies.
“With MTQ Products now incorporated into our structure, our reach and in-house manufacturing capacity expands significantly,” says Ger Monster, Managing Director of Ned Marine says. “Our products are light, strong aluminium constructions, designed in-house according to the latest certification guidelines.”
Ger, who founded Ned Marine in 2010, continues: “Ned Marine and MTQ have found each other in offering tailored solutions to match their client’s wishes. Both adhere to high, strict design and production standards. In addition, we see an increasing demand, a need even, for certified products with our customers. This is determined both by legislation, and changing market demands. Together we can serve these customers fast and efficient with a wide range of standard products on stock, as well as with tailor-made access structures.”
Ned Marine complies to the requirements of virtually all classification bureaus and those of its customers. Hence, clients are ensured that their operations can start or proceed continuously and safely, whether they are about vessel or offshore platform access or about industrial construction sites.
Note that Ned Marine is currently the strongest player in the European aluminium gangway market, in addition to having a strong position in cathodic protection solutions and non-destructive testing services. The acquisition of MTQ means that the company’s products are not only built I larger quantities and according to high standards, but also faster and more cost-effective, leading to shorter delivery times.
Every day, pilots board and leave vessels under demanding conditions: moving water, limited visibility, varying freeboards and strict time windows. The pilot ladder is the single most important element in this transfer. International regulations such as SOLAS, IMO resolutions and ISO standards exist for one reason: to reduce risk in one of the most exposed moments of a vessel’s operation.
A pilot ladder must function reliably in ballast and loaded conditions, in calm seas and rough weather, and across a wide range of vessel designs. Any compromise in ladder quality, length, securing or certification directly affects the safety of pilots and crew.
Selecting the right pilot ladder is more complex than it may appear. In practice, shipowners and technical managers face several recurring challenges.
SOLAS Chapter V, Regulation 23 requires a pilot ladder long enough to reach the waterline even when the vessel is in ballast condition with up to 15° of adverse list. While legally correct, this can result in ladders that are longer than ideal in day-to-day operations, creating handling and safety issues if excess steps rest on the pilot boat deck.
When the distance from sea level to the point of access exceeds 9 metres, a combination arrangement is mandatory. This requires precise interaction between the accommodation ladder and the pilot ladder, including minimum overlap, sufficient clearance for the pilot boat and independent securing points. Errors in configuration are a frequent cause of non-compliance during inspections.
Pilot ladders are certified safety equipment. They must comply with ISO 799-1, often be MED-approved for EU-flagged vessels, and be supported by valid onboard certification. After 30 months of service, ladders require periodic strength testing. Inadequate documentation, unclear markings or uncertified replacements can lead to deficiencies, delays or detentions.
Even the best ladder fails if it is incorrectly rigged. Proper securing with side ropes, correct knots, designated strong points and trained crew procedures are essential. The ISM Code requires these checks to be embedded in the vessel’s maintenance and safety routines.
Ned Marine supports shipowners with pilot ladder solutions that address both regulatory demands and operational reality.
By treating the pilot ladder as part of a complete pilot transfer arrangement rather than a standalone product, risks are reduced and compliance becomes manageable.
A pilot ladder is not a commodity. It is safety equipment that must match your vessel’s design, operating profile and regulatory framework. Contact us to discuss your pilot ladder requirements. Our specialists will help you select the right certified solution, ensure compliance with SOLAS, IMO and ISO standards, and support safe and reliable pilot transfers on every voyage.

The Eddy Current method is used to detect discontinuities in pipe and tubing by subjecting the material to a strong external magnetic field. A test coil which includes Eddy currents in the material is used for this purpose. If a discontinuity exists, there will be variations in the Eddy currents produced and these will be indicated by a signal in the test equipment.
Alternating electrical current is passed through a coil producing a magnetic field. When the coil is placed near a conductive material, the changing magnetic field induces current flow in the material. These currents travel in closed loops and are called Eddy currents. Eddy currents produce their own magnetic field that can be measured and used to find flaws and characterize conductivity, permeability, and dimensional features.
Used to detect surface and near-surface flaws in conductive materials, such as the metals. Eddy Current inspection is also used to sort materials based on electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability, and measures the thickness of thin sheets of metal and non-conductive coatings such as paint.
Vacuum Box Testing can be used on lap welds, shell to annular welds, butt welds, pressure vessels, piping systems, among many others. This method is great as it is capable of immediately locating any leaks. It can also detect the smallest leaks inside a given area.
Ned Marine’s professionals are trained and experienced in vacuum box bubble test methods in accordance with the ASME BPVC code, section V, article 10, Appendix II.
Please contact us if you require any more information or a quote.
Vacuum Box Testing is a non-destructive method used to detect leaks and discontinuities in welds, tank bottoms, pipelines and pressure-retaining structures. By creating a controlled pressure difference inside a vacuum box and applying a contrast soap solution, even the smallest defects become visible as air bubbles. This technique is especially valuable in environments where safety and integrity are critical, such as maritime vessels, offshore installations and industrial storage tanks. It provides immediate, reliable visual confirmation without damaging the material.
The inspector applies a soap solution to the weld and places the vacuum box over it. When the vacuum pump creates negative pressure, any leakage path forces air through the defect, producing clear bubbles. This simple but effective mechanism allows rapid testing of long weld seams with consistent accuracy, even on irregular surfaces.
This method is ideal for large surface areas or components that cannot be pressurised internally. Typical applications include storage tank floors, ship hull plating, ballast tanks, pipelines, offshore skids, and pressure vessel attachments. It is particularly useful when other NDT methods—such as UT or radiography—are too costly, slow, or impractical.
Vacuum Box Testing at Ned Marine is performed according to recognised industry standards, including ASME BPVC Section V, Article 10, and applicable ASTM guidelines. Our inspectors are certified and trained to ensure precise execution and correct interpretation of all bubble indications. This guarantees compliance for marine, offshore and industrial inspection requirements.
Ned Marine provides mobile vacuum box testing on board vessels, in shipyards, tank terminals and industrial sites. Our team conducts fast turnaround inspections, supports repair teams with direct feedback, and documents all findings in clear inspection reports. With broad experience in maritime and offshore environments, we ensure that safety-critical structures remain compliant, reliable and leak-free.
