The jetty head, breasting dolphins and mooring dolphins for FSRU and LNG carrier berthing are connected by catwalks. A 90 m long access bridge, with access pavement and sidewalk, connects the jetty head with onshore part of the jetty. [15] The connecting gas pipeline, with nominal diameter 1.000 mm and operating pressure of 100 bar is 4.2 km long.

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] A more permanent structure, normally in stone, would be described as a parapet or the battlement of a castle wall.
Container terminals are, for the most part, directly on land, eliminating the need for berthing dolphins similar to those described in the Mooring section. Fender systems installed on the wharf face are the main facility for reducing the amount of energy the wharf structure must absorb during berthing.
A jetty is a man-made structure that protrudes from land out into water. A jetty may serve as a breakwater , as a walkway, or both; or, in pairs, as a means of constricting a channel. The term derives from the French word jetée , "thrown", signifying something thrown out.
