ABSTRACT:
Directed to a floating dock system of improved stability and load carrying capacity with a clean, uncluttered profile. The system is made of rectangular, modular main dock units having preferably cylindrical steel tanks or floats rigidly attached in parallel relation and supporting a deck structure. Individual units are attached together by hinges at the ends and have finger pier units, also preferably having cylindrical steel tanks or floats supporting a deck structure attached along the sides of the main dock units, as by hinges, so as to form mooring slips therebetween. The main dock units may have a utility trench built into the decking therealong which permit inspection thereof and may have transformers mounted on each unit to provide power sources of equivalent capacity along the entire main dock system.
