Passenger gangway and mooring system for Stena Belfast

Over the next few months the company will design and build the elevated passenger walkway that will be used to connect the berthed vessel to the terminal building. The walkway will consist of four fixed sections together with an elevating gangway and hoisting platform, operated by hydraulic cylinders. The total operational window of the entire walkway will be approximately 6 meters high and 23 meters along the quay. The contract also includes the design, supply, fabrication, surface treatment, testing and full installation of a semi-automatic mooring system for the Belfast quay, which is scheduled to be delivered at the same time as the gangway. The design comprises one rig with hydraulic cylinder, control cylinders for the mooring rods, a hydraulic power pack, plus a platform and stairs. Offering a cost-effective and reduced risk alternative to traditional methods of mooring with ropes, the semi-automatic system is designed to buffer the transverse forces from dedicated vessels, each of which is due to be fitted with compatible bollards.
