ABSTRACT:
A marine vessel ladder system that is primarily used for overboard emergency situations. The ladder system is collapsible and separable into two pieces with one piece substantially smaller than the other. The smaller piece serves both as a retainer to hold the larger piece in a folded, stowed position and also as a connector to fasten the larger piece to a customized area along an edge of the vessel's deck. The ladder system is deployable by one deckhand and includes vertically oriented upper and lower ladder sections with a horizontally oriented grate section therebetween. Fixed vertical railings and collapsible side railings are provided for assistance in ascending and descending the ladder system. Optional safety straps are provided to secure the system prior to and during use.
