Custom made facilities
Janson has been commissioned at many seaports with tidal movement to facilitate the loading and unloading of Ro-Ro vessels, particularly in the English Channel from Zeebrugge to Cherbourg where many such facilities have been installed. They are also in operation in major ports like IJmuiden, Zeebruge and Rotterdam.

Many of these linkspans are permanent installations showing excellent economic returns for ports and ferry companies. However, when in doubt of the long-term viability of a route, Janson has the solution in semi-permanent installations on
a rental or lease basis

Permanent
This modular facility can be built to conform to the customer's requirements. It can be designed to accomodate the tidal movements, currents, wind strength, wave patterns and mooring facilities of a particular location. The length of the linkspan and size of pontoon are flexible and can be configured to allow the mooring of several ships for simultaneous loading and unloading. A turnkey solution is available to the client with a fast delivery and commissioning service.

Semi-permanent
When in doubt about the initial viablity of a route or when a linkspan is required on short notice, Janson can offer an easy solution to the problem. Janson is the major European supplier of Unit Construction bridges and pontoons, which are readily available from rental stock reducing costly design and fabrication time for a purpose built structure.

As a result a Ro-Ro facility for rental or lease as well as purchase can be commisioned at short notice onto abutments and moorings provided by the client.
