Port of Oakland proceeds with Berth 10 refurbishment

The Port of Oakland proceeds with the refurbishment of Berth 10, a Dredge Material Rehandling Facility.

To extend the service life of Berth 10, ShibataFenderTeam delivered five sets of Cone Fender systems (SPC 1000, G1.3), with closed-box steel panels (2286 x 3658 mm), all customized to meet the specific requirements of this aging terminal.



Given Berth 10’s narrow deck and limited load capacity, a custom solution was developed that operates almost independently of the original substructure. For each system, two new piles were driven and connected through a robust clamp, providing the necessary fender mounting space. The fenders absorb berthing energy, while the piles distribute the loads into the ground and partially into the original structure, reducing stresses in the berth.

The clamps and fender system were co-designed by ShibataFenderTeam’s in-house engineering team prior to the tender phase, ensuring a fully optimized design from the very beginning. This collaboration streamlined the tendering process for the owner and facilitated a faster execution of the project.
