Abstract
A fender beam and life ladder in one which serves as a life ladder mounted on a wall surface of a quay or the like and extending substantially vertically at least from a water level to an upper end of the quay to help a person who has fallen from the quay and which also serves as a fender beam to prevent a hull from being damaged resulting from the contact thereof with the quay when a ship comes closer to the quay. The fender beam and life ladder has a pair of plate-like elastic members, which are mounted on the wall surface so that one end widthwise of each elastic member is obliquely projected from the wall surface of the quay and the projected ends are opposed in a suitably spaced relation. On the projected ends there are provided plural steps of cross members forming a ladder in a suitably spaced relation.
