Manhattan Cruise Terminal Gets New Gangways For Norwegian Breakaway

New Gangways Ordered For Manhattan Cruise Terminal

TEAM Ports & Maritime has won a contract to design, manufacture, assemble, transport and install of two HYDRA Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBBs) at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal in New York.

The gangways will provide seamless access for cruise guests from cruise terminal building to Norwegian Cruise Line'’s new Norwegian Breakaway. The NCL Breakaway will start sailing year-round from New York as of May 12, 2013.

With these PBBs the Manhattan Cruise Terminal is equipped to fully service the embarkation and disembarkation of cruise guests to any new generation mega cruise ship with overhanging life boats.

The new gangways will be designed and manufactured in Spain. Assembly will take place in the Port of Barcelona, from where they will be placed on a ship and transported to the Manhattan Cruise Terminal in New York.
