HKIA Sky Pier Passenger Barge
Supflex supplied the 3,650-ton Sky Pier Passenger Barge for Hong Kong International Airport. Located in a high-exposure typhoon zone, the structure required a heavy-duty mooring solution capable of absorbing extreme dynamic loads while ensuring uninterrupted passenger operations.
Design & Construction
Dynamic Stability: Supflex elastomeric technology allows controlled movement, significantly reducing peak loads on the hull and anchors during severe weather. Typhoon Resilience: Designed specifically for the harsh hydrodynamic environment of the South China Sea.
Outcome
This project represents the first application of Supflex elastic mooring technology supporting a 3,650-ton floating terminal within an international airport, setting a benchmark for mega-structure maritime safety.
