Abstract: A vertically adjustable bridge for connection with ships, particularly ships with their own flaps such as car ferries and the like, comprises a ramp (6) including girders and the like and has an upper surface suitable as bedding for transport. At its land side the bridge is rotatably connected to a bearing arrangement (3, 4) so that the end (9) of the bridge which in use faces the ship can be turned to a desired height within a suitable adjustment area and temporarily locked in this height position by means of supporting legs (10). The bridge comprises one or more bridge units, several bridge units being mountable side by side adjacent one another, and each bridge unit has straight sides parallel to one another.
