Specifications include, but are not limited to: • A 525-foot berth, with a cofferdam bulkhead and concrete platform; • Fendering, bollards, and water service at the bulkhead to accommodate large vessels; • Dredging in front of the quayside and approach to provide additional berthing depth for larger sea-going vessels (target depth -32 MLLW); • Improvement of an upland laydown of approximately 18 acres, with geotechnical enhancements to create high bearing capacity to accommodate the turbines, blades, and other materials required by the OSW developers; • Grading and land improvements throughout the improved site will emphasize flexibility for crane and self-propelled modular transporter (SPMT) movements throughout the heavy bearing capacity area, while also raising the elevation of the port facility to provide climate resiliency; • Ship-to-shore water service to provide fresh water to vessels calling on the port; • Utility and security improvements to enhance operations, including high mast lighting to allow for 24-hour operations; and • A Ship-to-shore power hookup that allow vessels to remain powered during multi-day stays in port without running diesel-fired auxiliary engines.
