ADELTE, formerly known as TEAM, will install a boarding bridge at the new cruise terminal in Leixões.

The port of Leixões, neighbor to the city of Porto, wants to boost its cruise passenger activity. Currently, the port is  building some spectacular infrastructures including: a new terminal, a 340-meter dock, and a marina. The Administracao dos Portos do Douro e Leixoes (APDL), the port authority for the port of Leixões, will offer cruise passengers first-rate services with the construction of a new building replicating a boat hull.

Contractor, ADELTE, will handle the design, manufacture and installation of the intended HYDRA-model boarding bridge (SPBB). Consisting of two tunnels, each 26 m in length, with a docking cabin capable of serving mega cruise ships at dock level, the first SPBB in the port of Leixões will be able to service vessels up to 300m in length by the end of 2014. An interesting feature of the new HYDRA design is that a mobile access ramp can be coupled directly to the connecting module of the bridge.
