ABSTRACT:
On a ship, a folding structure serves a dual function of a stern door in its folded position and a ramp in its unfolded position. The first and second decks of the ship have internal ramps which angularly swing up and down to accommodate different heights of the ship relative to the pier. The folding structure may be coupled to the internal ramp on either deck. The capability of coupling the folding structure ramp to either movable internal ramp allows the ship to be loaded or unloaded over wide variations of tide and draft.
