Port Authority of Ceuta awarded ADELTE a project to deliver four Seaport Passenger Boarding Bridges. These SPBBs will replace the current systems installed two decades ago on the Cañonero Dato Pier.
The new bridges will have greater operational flexibility and will serve various ferry ships sailing from Ceuta in the Spanish enclave of North Africa to the Port of Algeciras in Southern Spain.
UNE 27800:2020 – A New Standard for Seaport Passenger Boarding Bridges
ADELTE, world-leading specialist in the design and manufacture of Seaport Passenger Boarding Bridges, is pleased to announce that the Spanish Association for Standardisation, UNE, has recently approved and published UNE 27800:2020, a new standard for Seaport Passenger Boarding Bridges (SPBBs) destined for cruise and ferry terminals.
This new Spanish standard specifies safety and security requirements, as well as performance and operating specifications for SPBBs, which are used to service all types of cruise ships and ferries. The standard is intended to improve fulfilment of the stipulations laid out in the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, setting specific and vital minimum criteria for safe, durable and practical boarding bridges.
