Nobody has as much experience as DeLong in the engineering and construction of marine terminals. Well over 50% of the sea-island terminals in use today were de- signed and/or built by DeLong. We have provided more than 100 structures, oper- ated in every corner of the world, and met every environmental challenge.

DeLong experience includes arctic-en- vironment piers, military container termi- nals, tropical ore-loading as an oil separator platforms, VLCC terminals, work platforms and other structures.

This broad engineering/construction background enables DeLong to design around the most cost-effective fabrication techniques. But most important, DeLong has unexcelled engineering capabilities for the marine environment—experience over, on and under the sea.
