The dry dock can operate as both a dry or tidal wet dock, providing flexibility of use to the client. The existing South Quay has been entirely re-faced with a new steel piled wall. The seabed level has been lowered to provide a depth of -12 meters below chart datum along the 370 meter length of the South Quay and along the East side of the finger quay. The upgraded quay has potable water and sea water fire-fighting connection points along the length of the quay. The West Finger Quay extends 130m into the Firth and is 40 meters wide. The Quay walls are designed to allow heavy equipment loadouts to barges or vessels using crawler or mobile cranes or SPMT's.
