It is the company's first project in Taiwan and second in South Korea, where ADELTE installed four SPBBs KRONUS at Busan's new ferry terminal in 2014.
Incheon port is located on the route from China to Japan and is the gateway to Seoul. Incheon Port Authority aims to reach three million passengers by 2020 and to become a cruise hub in Northeast Asia.
The Incheon International Cruise Terminal, currently under construction, is designed to accommodate the largest cruise vessels. ADELTE is manufacturing and installing two symmetrical HYDRA SPBBs at the new facility.
In addition, ADELTE will deliver two more state-of-the-art boarding bridges in Keelung and in Taipei ports.
The growth potential of the cruise tourism market in the region is strong and Taiwan´s cruise passenger arrivals has more than doubled during the past five years. Taiwan International Port Corporation (TIPC) decided to contract ADELTE to modernize Keelung W2 and Taipei N1 cruise terminals equipment by providing two custom-made SEDNA Passenger Boarding Bridges. Both systems should allow TIPC to welcome in the best conditions Asia´s largest cruise vessels such as Quantum and Oasis of the Seas' says Miko Liaw, ceo Switch Means Industrial Co.
