SDD - Deep Draft Camel

The SDD camel is designed for berthing of U.S. Navy fast-attack submarines. Lighter weight but similar in design to the MDD camel, the SDD camel features seal welded tubular steel construction (bottom pipes are open), vertically positioned submarine side fenders, a wide body design and a narrow berthing footprint. The pier side of the camel has bolt on UHMW-PE panels contacting the wharf in lieu of arch fenders. The camel also features an anti-fouling marine coating, zinc anodes for corrosion protection, hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel hardware and a composite grating working platform on top. Lifting/mooring eyes are integrated into the camel's construction.
