Cruise Terminal 10 was expanded by the Canaveral Port Authority to berth the Voyager Class cruise ships, currently the largest cruise ship class in the world, and to receive the Mariner of the Seas in November, 2003. Berth improvements include expanding the wharf by filling in gaps between the bulkhead wall and the rear of the pier, adding monopile mooring dolphins, upgrading the fender system, expanding the underwater scour protection mat system, and constructing an elevated passenger ramp and gangway structure. This paper describes how the fender system and mooring structures, originally designed for 77,000 GRT vessels, were upgraded to homeport a 142,000 GRT vessel. In addition the paper describes the design of the expansion of the underwater scour protection system to resist Azipod propulsion and larger side thrusters, and the challenges encountered during construction.
