In June 2022, the US Army Corps of Engineers completed [28] a $350 million dredging project that will allow post-Panamax ships to dock without waiting for high tide. [ 29 ] [ 26 ] The CSX railroad's double-stack container terminal in Worcester is an hour and half drive from the terminal. [ 30 ]
Because of tidal resonance in the funnel-shaped bay, the tides that flow through the channel are very powerful. In one half-day tidal cycle, about 100 billion tonnes (110 billion short tons ) of water flow in and out of the bay, which is twice as much as the combined total flow of all the rivers of the world over the same period.

A floating dock may refer to a number of constructions found in ports and harbours Floating dock (impounded) , a development of the half tide dock, where pumps or river flow are used to maintain the dock at around the high tide level of a nearby tidal waterway
A coastal storm has been lurking off the East Coast of the United States for five days, contributing to persistent coastal flooding, rip currents and rough surf from North Carolina to Maine.
High tide flooding will be more common as sea levels rise in cities such as Seattle, Cherry Point and Port Townsend, according to the NOAA. High tide flood warnings throughout WA state predict ...
Mean high water springs (MHWS) – The average of the two high tides on the days of spring tides. Mean high water neaps (MHWN) – The average of the two high tides on the days of neap tides. Mean sea level (MSL) – This is the average sea level. The MSL is constant for any location over a long period.
The littoral zone, also called litoral or nearshore, is the part of a sea, lake, or river that is close to the shore. [1] In coastal ecology, the littoral zone includes the intertidal zone extending from the high water mark (which is rarely inundated), to coastal areas that are permanently submerged — known as the foreshore — and the terms are often used interchangeably.
A half tide dock is a partially tidal dock. Typically the dock is entered at high tide. As the tide ebbs a sill or weir prevents the level dropping below a certain point, meaning that the ships in the dock remain afloat, although they still rise and fall with the tides above this. Half tide docks are particularly useful in areas with a large ...
