Help ensure fire protection and life safety at marine terminals, piers, and wharves.
Buildings and structures located on marine terminal premises and terminal yard areas, as well as special-use piers and wharves that differ in design and construction from cargo handling piers, require special safety considerations based on the type and the function of the structure
NFPA 307, Standard for the Construction and Fire Protection of Marine Terminals, Piers, and Wharves, offers provisions for better protecting against loss of life and property from fire and explosions in and around these structures.
The standard is a vital resource for installers, contractors, designers, engineers, and facility managers involved in building or managing marine terminals, piers, and wharves. NFPA 307 covers the basic pier substructure constructive types and any combination of materials, including fire-resistive, noncombustible, combustible, and composite construction.
Subject areas include:
- Water supply for fire protection equipment and systems
- Storage and handling of highly combustible or hazardous materials
- Mooring of vessels
- Repairs involving cutting, welding, or other hot work
- Bunkering (refueling) of vessels
- Fire protection systems
- Heating equipment
- Fumigation
- Electrical installation
The 2026 edition features minor revisions to listed references and updates to formatting and nomenclature.
