Ferry landings, ship terminals, and cruise terminals are complex waterfront facilities that require specialized engineering for vessel operations, passenger movement, marine conditions, resiliency, accessibility, and long-term maintenance. From floating ferry landings and fixed piers to berthing structures, wharves, bulkheads, gangways, fender systems, shoreline improvements, and terminal-adjacent upland infrastructure, each project must perform safely within active, changing waterfront environments.

KCI, formerly McLaren Engineering Group, brings deep experience planning, designing, inspecting, and rehabilitating ferry landings, ship terminals, cruise facilities, and marine transportation infrastructure. Our multidisciplinary marine engineering teams support projects from feasibility studies, surveys, permitting, and geotechnical investigations through structural and marine design, berthing and mooring analysis, construction administration, inspection, and asset rehabilitation. With experience across high-use public ferry systems, port facilities, cruise homeports, waterfront developments, and government marine assets, we help owners develop resilient, adaptable, and operationally efficient terminal infrastructure.
