Fixed navigational Structures• Navigational Lights on Piers, Wharves, Dolphins etcNavigational Lights on Piers, Wharves, Dolphins etc
• Light House
• Beacon Lights: include radar reflectors, radio beacons, sonic and visual signals. Visual beacons range from small single‐pile structures to large lighyhouses orbeacons range from small, single‐pile structures to large lighyhouses or light stations and can be located on land or on water. Lighted beacons are called lights; unlighted beacons are called daybeacons.

DocksD k i tifi i l l (b i ) idi h lt fDock is an artificial enclosure (basin) providing shelter for berthing of ships. Water in docks may be kept more or less at the same level for ease of operations If it is usedless at the same level for ease of operations. If it is used for loading/ unloading of passengers and cargo, it is known as a Harbour Dock or Wet Dock. If it is used for repairs, it is called Repair Dock or Dry Dock.

Classification of docksClassification of docks
Harbour Docks (Wet Docks) Why???a bou oc s ( et oc s) y???(1) Tidal range is sufficiently high; more than 5 M.(2) Silting is excessive and draft of entry to dock is reduced.(3) Draft of an old port is to be increased for modern ships.
Rectilinear docks are preferable over curvilinear because of ease of ‘berthing’.ease o be t gWalls are designed as gravity retaining structures and should :
(1) Withstand backfill pressure when dock is empty.(2) Withstand internal pressure when dock is full with no backfill.(3) Withstand shock when ships contact with dock walls.(4) Withstand concentrated loads of crane foundations bollard(4) Withstand concentrated loads of crane foundations, bollardfixtures for mooring of ships.

• Lift docks :These are platforms, lowered into and raised out from water with
hydraulic power.
• Slip Docks :Slip Docks :a dock having a sloping floor that extends from deep water to above
high‐water mark, and upon which is a railway on which runs a cradle carrying the ship.y g p
• Floating Docks :Dock which is made to become buoyant, and, by floating, to lift a
vessel out of watervessel out of water.
• Graving:dock for holding a ship for graving or cleaning the bottom, etc.

Dredging• It is a technique of removing materials from sea bed (or bed of other water• It is a technique of removing materials from sea‐bed (or bed of other water
bodies) on to the shore. A dredge is a device for scraping or sucking the seabed, used for dredging. A dredger is a ship or boat equipped with a dredge. The terms are sometimes interchanged.are sometimes interchanged.

SluicingIt i t d f th l h hi• It is resorted for the places near quay where ships are anchored and dredging becomes difficult. Sluicing basins are built which store water during high tides Small holesare built which store water during high tides. Small holes at the bottom are provided. At low tide water is made to rush out thus removing silting.
