Abstract:
A movable passenger bridge for embarking and disembarking a ship includes sections, each pair of adjacent sections connected at respective ends by shorter transfer sections, arranged so that passengers can walk from section to section. The sections and the transfer sections are supported by a framework of steel beams. The sections are displaceably arranged relative to the framework, forming an angle relative to the horizontal plane, accommodating a height difference between first and second ports. The framework is supported by wheel arrangements that abut against a quay. An entry module by the first port, on the one hand is connectable to a first of the sections, on the other hand is connected to the transfer section which is located closest to and lying in the same vertical plane as the entry module, whereby a connection can be established from the entry module directly into the second transfer section.
