The present invention provides a retractable cover for vessels moored laterally along the side of a pier of a loading bay, and also for a portion of the pier itself, to provide protection against inclement weather during loading operations. The retractable cover comprises of a series of structural arches which are movable parallel to the pier. On the land side these arches are supported on motorized trolleys and on the water side on floatation devices. Between these arches flexible canvases are fitted. When the retractable covers gets deployed, the arches are moved apart from each other, the canvases get spread out and will provide the cover for the vessel moored underneath at the loading bay. A swinging spreader bar system moves the arches apart and at the same time provides the lateral stability once the cover is deployed.
