Création d’un duc d’Albe d’amarrage au poste 4 EN

Brief overview

In order to be able to accommodate in optimal conditions 200 m and longer Ro-Ro vessels, Ports of Normandy will be adapting one of its mooring stations (station 4). The aim is to allow such vessels to maintain their position alongside in complete safety, including in unfavourable wind conditions. 

To achieve this, Ports of Normandy will be erecting a new set of mooring dolphins (piles driven into the seabed) situated 18 m to the west of the berthing wall. The mooring station will be equipped with a platform to allow the linesman to work safely. The platform will have one or two mooring hooks. Additionally, two new gangways will link the current turning station with this new mooring station.
