WSF currently carries over 26 millions passengers per year. Because of growth in the Puget Sound area and the desirability of living on Puget Sound's many islands and visits to the Olympic Peninsula, ridership on the ferry system has double since 1975. Some routes have experienced a 300 percent increase in passengers. To meet the demands of increased vehicle traffic on Puget Sound, WSF has maintained a program of building faster and larger ferry vessels. During the 1950s, Steel-Electric and Evergreen State Class of ferries had a capacity of 75 to 100 cars and 600 to 1,200 passengers.

This report presents the coastal and marine components of the Phase II evaluation of the proposed Fisherman Pier Marina facility in Hamilton, Ontario. Two potential sites were considered for the marina facility. Both are located directly south of the Burlington Canal; one on the Lake Ontario side and one on the Hamilton Harbour side. A service basin proposed for a location near the Canada Centre for Inland Waters (CCIW) complex would be used by either a Lake Ontario marina or a Hamilton Harbour marina.

Royal Brighton Yacht Club is one of the premier yacht clubs in Victoria catering mainly for racing yachts ranging from dinghies to ocean racing yachts. The timber jettied marina was in poor condition with rotting decks and piles subject to necking and other signs of age. This structure catering for up to 179 berths was originally constructed for the 1956 Olympic Games, and despite maintenance, was beyond its service life, and no longer met the expectations of the members. Following a lengthy approvals process and negotiation of a seabed lease, redevelopment of the marina was started in May 2002.

This UFC contains descriptions and design criteria for pier and wharf construction, including subsidiary, contiguous, and auxiliary structures. Loading details, regulations, furnishings, appurtenances, and other information are discussed when applicable. This UFC provides minimum facility planning and design criteria for efficient homeporting facilities of Naval vessels. Existing ports, facilities, and berths may not meet all criteria and may therefore, perform less efficiently, but do not necessarily require upgrade. This UFC focuses on the entire homeport operation.

The ultimate environmental performance of a properly sited coastal marina depends on the marina design, construction and operation. Guidelines for the design of marinas are currently available in Australia. 'Australian Standard AS3962-1991, Guidelines for Design of Marinas' details appropriate design and engineering standards for marinas in Queensland. However, given the World Heritage status of the GBRMP, and the sensitivity of marine ecosystems in the Park, engineering and design criteria which may meet these standards may still have unacceptable environmental consequences in the Marine Park.
