The Modular Hybrid Pier (MHP) uses post-tensioned, high strength, lightweight concrete with corrosion resistant steel reinforcement to reduce repair costs by up to 80% over a service life of 100 years. The floating, double-decked pier will provide efficient vessel support to reduce costs of ship berthing, repair and re-supply. Costly, maintenance-intensive fender piles are not required as foam-filled fenders positioned along the hull and internal fenders at mooring shafts absorb energy of vessel mooring. This provides optimum flexibility in ship classes that can be berthed. The MHP rides with the tide, maintaining constant elevation relative to ship decks thereby reducing labor expended in tending mooring lines.
