Description
The Maryland Port Administration is seeking information from Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB) manufacturers to aid in the planning efforts for the installation of a new PBB at the South Locust Point Cruise Terminal. The new PBB should be able to accommodate a range of ship door elevations and provide access to different size and style ships. The PBB should be air-conditioned and heated for the comfort of the passengers. The document includes a list of questions that respondents should answer, including estimated engineering and design timeline, manufacturing timeline, and assembly requirements.
• The PBB should be able to accommodate a range of ship door elevations from +20 MLLW to +40 MLLW.
• The approximate length of the PBB from the center of the rotunda directly to ship doors is 160’.
• The PBB should be able to reach a range of distances from the rotunda to include potential angles of up to 50˚.
• The PBB should be air-conditioned and heated for the wide range of weather in Baltimore.
• The document includes a preliminary layout for the future passenger building and conceptual PBB layout and projected lengths.
