Task: Text Completion
Input (English): Inc., No. 02-0260 at 6-7 (BRB Dec. 17, 2002). We agree with the Board that we need not read the phrase “customarily used” as modifying “pier” in order to arrive at the conclusion that the term “pier” in § 903(a) does not include every conceivable structure built on pilings over land and water, but rather only those serving some maritime purpose. The maritime nature of the LHWCA imparts a meaning to § 903(a)’s enumerat ed terms that goes beyond their use in ordinary language. Congress enacted the LHWCA pursuant to its maritime jurisdiction, having been twice rebuffed by the Supreme Court in its initial attempts to use state workers’ compensation laws to cover injuries occurring in navigable waters.
