ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Gangway structure is disclosed herein providing a connecting link between a vessel and a docking area. The gangway includes a gangway structure having means to support one end thereof on the vessel, means to support the other end thereof on the docking area, and means, such as cooperating vertical pivot and horizontal axis roller means to preclude the torsional twisting of the gangway structure, e.g. in any position of movement thereof in connecting link relation to the vessel and docking area. Preferably associated tower structures and elevated connecting gangway span supporting means are provided which extend between such tower structures for accommodating the docking area supported end of the gangway structure and such means to preclude such torsional twisting. Such gangway structure permits loading and unloading of the vessel when adjacent to the docking area under the prevalent variable relative positional dispositions of the vessel and docking area due to tidal and water current changes, and vessel displacement changes caused by such loading and unloading.
