Fred,
Well I was beat to it but I could see that you were going to need the gangway, the ladders up to it, and the metal handrailing that goes all the way around the tank that also holds the ladders to the tank, which bottom out in the sill.

Ben,
In real life it would have! Sadly tho, the model uses the tank railing to hold the ladders top end in place, I'm not sure why they didn't make the eyelets in such a place to allow the ladder to extend all the way to the gangway.....
But, your right, it should!
