The berthing facility also including, hydraulically dampened fenders and wingwalls for dissipating vessel impact force, an integral turning dolphin, apron assemblies for providing continuity of vehicle pathways between the ramp and a ferry, and means for raising and lowering the ramp.

Installation d'accostage pour déplacer des véhicules entre une installation côtière et un transbordeur roulier avec dispositifs de chargement de proue et de poupe, qui comprend un ponton flottant sensiblement rigide formé de plusieurs modules joints les uns aux autres, une rampe à véhicules à deux niveaux partant de la côte jusqu'au ponton, des dispositifs pour fixer de manière pivotante le ponton près de la rampe et des dispositifs pour retenir le ponton tout en lui permettant d'effectuer un mouvement pivotant contrôlé dans l'orientation désirée. L'installation d'accostage comprend également des défenses et des ailes amorties hydrauliquement qui dissipent la force d'impact du navire, un duc-d'albe qui tourne intégralement, un tablier de quai qui assure la continuité de la voie de passage des véhicules entre la rampe et le traversier, et des dispositifs pour élever et abaisser la rampe.
