Renovation and Maintenance of the IJmuiden PBB

Anton Air Support has been commissioned by KVSA to carry out the renovation and long-term maintenance of the passenger boarding bridge at the IJmuiden ferry terminal, which serves the daily ferry connection to Newcastle. The nearly 40-year-old structure will remain in use until a new bridge is developed and installed.

To ensure continued safe and reliable operation, the current bridge is undergoing both cosmetic and technical upgrades.

 Renovation & cosmetic upgrades:

  • Replacing roofing on the fixed tunnel sections
  • Installing new anti-slip flooring in the tunnels
  • Refurbishing and repainting the interior with a clean white finish

Technical maintenance & updates:

  • Upgrading the control system
  • Replacing outdated sensors and lighting
  • Mechanical servicing, including hydraulic pump replacement, cylinder inspection, and oil refresh
  • Anton Air Support is responsible for both the renovation work and the ongoing maintenance of the bridge. With years of experience in complex technical infrastructure, we ensure the bridge remains safe, functional, and user-friendly throughout its remaining operational life.
