Abstract
A flexible, floating walkway () is described to make it possible to securely transport people and/or goods between installations at sea, such as ships, and land (). The walkway is characterized in that it comprises bridge elements () coupled in between floating elements (A,B,C) fitted with horizontal and vertical segments, so that the floating elements can be pulled out during use to couple the installations () () and folded up when the walkway () is not in use. The bridge elements () are designed, together with the floating elements (A,B) to be unfolded and folded up in a zigzag concertina type formation. The invention also relates to applications of the construction to combine with land areas separated by a strait or a river where there is, for example, heavy traffic.
