A program of building faster and larger ferry vessels has been initiated by the Washington State Ferry System (WSF) to meet the demands of increased commuter traffic on the inland waterways of Puget Sound. The Jumbo Mark II class of vehicles is the most recent addition to the fleet. The introduction of these larger vessels has required upgrading of many of the ferry terminals. One specific area of concern was the existing dolphins at the terminals. This paper looks at the design and analysis of the development of methods to replace the existing dolphins with ones capable of resisting large impacts as well as soft and flexible impacts for passenger comfort. The paper concludes that the construction of the new dolphins has proven to be relatively easy. |
