Camden Ferry Pier
Location: City of Camden, New Jersey
S. T. Hudson Engineers designed the Camden Ferry Pier as an integral part of the City's waterfront development program which includes the new State Aquarium.
The facility includes a pile-supported fixed pier built off the riverfront promenade; a 75 ft. passenger ramp with integral wheelchair lift; and a floating pier converted from a used deck barge, anchored in place with mooring piles and equipped with an on-board air-conditioned waiting room. The ferry itself docks against a group of four pile clusters.
The variable angle ramp and wheelchair lift system is designed to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirement over a 7.5 tidal range. Sliding low friction collars secure the barge to the mooring piles, and are designed to withstand expected ice loads.
