New TEAM boarding bridge enters service with Carnival Dream

The world’s leading designer and manufacturer of sophisticated passenger boarding bridges (PBBs) for cruise and ferry terminals, Spain’s TEAM, has recently completed the installation of the first of two new generation PBBs of the CREUERS BARCELONA class to operate at the A and B cruise terminals on the Adossado quay in the port of Barcelona, Spain. The new PBB was used for the first time during the inaugural call of Carnival Cruise Line’s new 3, 646 passenger capacity Carnival Dream.

TEAM’s new generation CREUERS BARCELONA class PBB has the capability to move along the whole quay and is able to connect with the various levels of the cruise ship entry doors.  The seaside cabin of the PBB is equipped with an uniquely integrated hydraulically operated, telescopic tunnel and docking ramp that, when attached to the side of a cruise ship automatically follows the vessel’s movements and will immediately undock in the event of an emergency.  This PBB provides six metres clearance for the overhanging lifeboats of the latest generation of Mega cruise ships and clearance underneath the structure to allow continuous truck, equipment and supplies traffic on the quayside.
