The vessel’s successful arrival at the Academy this past Sunday followed four years of work by MMA, GZA, and other partners that began with a condition assessment of the existing pier and facility. Work progressed through the specialized new pier and mooring dolphin design to address the wide tidal range, resilience to coastal storms, and the specific ship characteristics and mooring requirement for the new training vessel; design of other new water dependent structures; and permitting and construction.
