The linkspans were scheduled to enter service in June, with Stena Lynx II, an Incat-built catamaran which has been in service on the Irish Sea. The main part of the linkspan is a pontoon on which a superstructure has been built, containing the access lanes and ramps between the vessel and the shore extension. Each linkspan is also equipped with an auto- mooring device acting on bollards on the ves- sel, eliminating moor- ing ropes between ves- sel and wharf. The linkspan in Goteborg is also outfit- ted with bunker facili- ties like fuel and water tanks with pumps. To minimize the service time in harbor, a bunkering manifold has been installed on the linkspan, allowing a fast connection of fuel, water, sewage and bilge. Both linkspans are flexible, moored to the quay with mooring rods. The linkspan can be seen at Stena Line's Denmark terminal, Masthuggskajen, locat- ed in Goteborg.
