Different types of coastal engineering structures: Marinas, Jetties, Ports,etc


VUDA MARINA(LAUTOKA)

Vuda Port, Mariner is a private


port with private facilities. Vuda
caters largely for oil and gas
tankers in the 18,000 – 24,000
d.w.t class can be handled. It is a
submarine pipe-line installation
berthing where the vessels moor
to buoys available in depths of
12 m @ CD.
Berthing and unberthing is dur-
ing daylight only and at the dis-
cretion of the Port Master Lauto-
ka in consultation with the Mas-
ter of the vessel.

PORT DENARAU MARINA(NADI)

Marina is an area or
‘dock’ where yachts
and other small ves-
sels can moor for
supplies, refueling or
maintenance
checks .

JETTIES
Jetties protect the
shoreline of a body of
water by acting as a bar-
rier against erosion from
currents, tides, and
waves. Jetties can also
be used to connect the
land with deep water far-
ther away from shore for
the purposes of docking
ships and unloading car-
go.

Different types of coastal protection: ripraps, seawalls, groins etc..


Coastal structures are an im-
portant component in any
coastal protection scheme.
They directly control wave
and storm surge action or to
stabilize a beach which pro-
vides protection to the coast
