Amber Cove Cruise Terminal

The Amber Cove Cruise Terminal is a design-build project completed by Orion in Bahia Maimon, Dominican Republic. Completed for Carnival Corporation, it features a berthing pier for Royal Princess Class cruise ships. The facility consists of a pile-supported access trestle, pile-supported berthing pier with mooring/breasting dolphins, navigational aids, and an excursion pier. The project also required dredging and disposal of approximately 800,000 cubic meters of material.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Construction of a berthing pier for two Royal Princess Class cruise ships
  • Pile-supported access trestle (200m long x 10m wide)
  • Pile-supported berthing pier with mooring/breasting dolphins (328m long x 15m wide)
  • Total berthing length of over 388m on both sides of the facility
  • Navigational aids and an excursion pier
  • Dredging and disposal of approximately 800,000 cubic meters
  • Design dredge depth of -11.0m

DESIGN-BUILD CRUISE TERMINAL AND DREDGING

The Amber Cove cruise terminal was designed and constructed by Orion and consisted of the construction of a berthing pier for two Royal Princess Class cruise ships. The facility is comprised of a pile-supported access trestle, pile-supported berthing pier with mooring/breasting dolphins, navigational aids, and an excursion pier. The access trestle, approximately 200m long by 10m wide, consists of a concrete deck supported by 762mm-diameter open-ended steel pipe piles. The berthing pier measures 328m long x 15m wide, with a concrete deck supported on 1,219mm-diameter open-ended steel pipe piles. Two pile-supported breasting/mooring dolphins are located at the end of the pier, creating a berthing length of over 388m on both sides of the facility. The project also required dredging and disposal of approximately 800,000 cubic meters, with a design dredge depth of -11.0m.
