TEAM passenger boarding bridges for Marseille cruise terminal

In its first contract yet in France, Spanish cruise passenger access specialist TEAM is to design, manufacture and install this year two of its Hydra passenger boarding bridges at the cruise terminal on the Leon Gourret Pier in Marseille. 

The contract has been placed by Marseille-Provence Cruise Terminal (MPCT) with the two boarding bridges being used at the Gare Maritime du Croisiere du Mole Leon Gourret. MPCT, which is operated jointly by Costa, MSC Cruises and Louis Cruises, is currently upgrading the cruise terminal, employing Genoa’s Studio Vicini to lead the project, which includes the construction of fixed elevated walkways leading from the cruise terminal to the pier. After completion of these walkways, TEAM will install the two Hydra boarding bridges 

In the design parameters for the new Marseille passenger boarding bridges set out by MPCT, the capability of the two bridges to move along the quay was an important factor, along with the adaptability of the units to connect with the elevated walkway and the various entrances of the cruise ships.  Sphere: Related Content
