A set of twins for the 3rd Cruise Center in Hamburg

Hamburg – Germany

CGH, a subsidiary of Hamburg Port Authority, in cooperation with Hamburg Airport,

contracted ADELTE to supply two custom-designed SPBBs to the new Cruise Center

Steinwerder in order to accommodate new-generation cruise vessels. Right in the heart

of the port, the new terminal building will have separate sections for arriving and

departing passengers, both connected to ADELTE’s SPBBs which will guarantee

flexible and fast boarding operations for 8,000 cruise guests a day. For this project,

ADELTE’s engineers designed an innovative docking ramp which allows passenger

embarkation and disembarkation to cruise ships doors below quay level. This is

ADELTE’s second project in Hamburg; a KRONUS type boarding bridge is in perfect

operation at Cruise Center Altona since 2010.

Smoothly disembarking for a port in Porto

ADELTE recently installed its first Passenger Boarding Bridge (SPBB) in the port

of Leixões, thus fulfilling the contract awarded in 2014 by the Administracao dos

Portos do Douro e Leixões (APDL). The sophisticated HYDRA model SPBB

consists of two tunnels, each measuring 26 meters in length, and an innovative

docking cabin capable of serving mega cruise ships at quay level. The system

connects with the ultra-modern and spectacular new cruise terminal via an

elevated walkway and ensures optimum operating efficiency and total comfort

and safety for passengers, including those with reduced mobility.Leixões – Portugal

In the summer of 2014, Mai Elmar, Executive Director,

and Cees Scherpenisse, Terminal Manager of Cruise

Port Rotterdam officially received and inaugurated a

new KRONUS boarding bridge at its renovated cruise

terminal. ADELTE designed, manufactured and

delivered the system in a record time to assure

boarding operations of the Oasis of the Seas when it

arrived in Rotterdam. The SPBB was commissioned in

cooperation with consultancy Deerns and this new

system includes the latest innovations and cutting-edge

technology patented by ADELTE, and is perfectly

adapted to the needs of the popular and growing

Cruise Port Rotterdam.

ADELTE delivered and installed a fourth SPBB at Singapore’s Marina Bay

Cruise Terminal. Contracted by SATS – CREUERS, this new SEDNA unit joins

the other three SEDNA SPBBs operating in Singapore since 2012. The Cruise

Terminal has now reached its optimum embarking and disembarking

capacity. Thus, ADELTE's full set of SPBBs provides clearance for continuous

truck, emergency, supplies and equipment traffic on the berths and at the

same time rapidly expedites boarding and disembarking operations, as

passengers can go from ship to kerbside in just 15 minutes.

ADELTE installed a new Passenger Boarding Bridge at Cruise Terminal 2 in the

port of Savona in 2014. Commissioned by leading Italian cruise company

Costa Crociere, the SPBB was specially designed to service the Diadema,

Costa Crociere’s newest ship which has overhanging lifeboats. The unique

design of the SPBB allows it to travel on rails along the whole length of the

terminal building, while ensuring continuous traffic flow on the quay. Including

this unit, Costa Crociere has received a total of six ADELTE SPBBs for its

cruise terminals in Italy and Spain.

ADELTE’s first SPBB project in Poland contracted by the construction

company BUDIMEX has been successfully completed. The HYDRA

boarding bridge is ready to dock ferries coming from Ystad in Sweden

on the new berth of the port of Swinoujscie. This unconventional

SPBB is perfectly adapted to the unique configuration of the port,

enabling passengers to transit safely and comfortably from an

exceptionally high elevated walkway to the doors of the ferry ships.

With tunnels measuring 3.6 m wide, the HYDRA SPBB will improve

the terminal’s logistics, providing enough capacity to absorb large

passenger flows while ensuring uninterrupted quayside traffic.

ADELTE delivered two cutting-edge THALASSA boarding bridges at the ferry terminals of

Ullapool (mainland) and Stornoway (Isle of Lewis). The two units ensure a smooth, safe and

secure boarding experience for all passengers choosing the ferry crossing between the two ports.

Both systems are equipped with ADELTE’s active cabin which is able to automatically follow the

ship’s movements and safely undock in case of an emergency. On top of that, the new SPBBs

have the ability to service at dock level, absorb big tidal variations and operate with very high

service winds. The projects were perfectly concluded in cooperation with Ullapool Harbour Trust,

CMAL Assets and Royal Haskoning DHV in Ullapool and with BAM Nuttall, Stornoway Port

Authority and URS in Stornoway.

The design/build of Cruise Center Steinwerder has been successfully completed

in-time to meet agreements with our clients. The two symmetrical boarding bridges

designed, manufactured and installed by ADELTE, play an important role in our

operations and therefore Cruise Gate Hamburg is very happy with these

custom-designed systems, not in the least because of the uniquely designed

docking ramps which allows us to service cruise ship doors below quay level

Denia’s new Terminal infrastructure was conceived to offer efficient,

safe and fast turnarounds to passengers, especially during summer high

season when the number of rotations rises significantly. The two singular

SPBBs supplied by ADELTE in 2014 and 2015 are critical elements of

Balearia’s operation process and are fulfilling their role perfectly

Elizabeth Ogden, Assistant Port Director at Port Miami

We asked ADELTE to design a new system to connect the terminal to

the existing HYDRA Passenger Boarding Bridge in order to increase our

berthing capacity for current and future cruise ships. Along with their

manufacturing capacity and the reliability of their products, ADELTE’s

expertise was key to design the right solution for our specific needs
