Has anyone any information on solutions to the problemm of making getting
on or off a cruise ship accessible?
I'm trying to help the local council with a new cruise ship terminal. One
problem is that the terminal will be on the Mersey itself, not in a dock,
and with the big tidal range (and the different sizes of ships) the angle
of the access route might vary from horizontal to very steep in either
direction, and will change throughout the day.
There's been some discussion on the list in the past about accessibility
*within* cruise liners, but I haven't seen anything about getting on or
off.
