Claim:
Movable passenger bridge for embarking and disembarking a ship, which passenger bridge comprises a number of sections ( 2 , 3 , 4 ) of the passenger bridge, where each pair of two adjacent sections ( 2 , 3 ; 3 , 4 ) are connected at their respective ends by a first transfer section ( 5 ) and a shorter, second transfer section ( 6 ), arranged so that passengers can walk from one section into an adjacent section via a transfer section, where the sections and the transfer sections are supported by a framework ( 19 ) of steel beams and where said sections ( 2 , 3 , 4 ) are displaceably arranged relative to the framework, so that these can form an angle in relation to the horizontal plane, so that a height difference between a first port ( 7 ), arranged to be connected to an opening in a terminal building or the corresponding, and a second port ( 8 , 9 ), arranged to be connected to an opening in the hull of the ship, can be absorbed, and wherein the framework is supported by wheel arrangements ( 10 - 13 ) arranged to abut against a quay, where at least one wheel arrangement ( 10 ) is driven in order to manoeuvre the passenger bridge on a quay, wherein an entry module ( 14 ), arranged by said first port ( 7 ), i) is connectable to a first of the sections ( 2 ) of the passenger bridge, and ii) is connected to the second transfer section ( 6 ), lying in the same vertical plane as the entry module ( 14 ), whereby a connection can be established from the entry module ( 14 ) directly into the second transfer section ( 6 ).
