Floating dock
A floating dock is a platform that floats on water, used for the maintenance and repair of boats and ships. It allows vessels to be lifted out of the water for inspection or repairs without needing to be transported to a dry land facility. These docks are built with buoyant materials and can rise and fall with the water level. This makes them particularly useful in various marine settings, as they provide easier access to the hulls of boats and prevent damage from the constant wave action in a harbor or port.
