berth for the Cape Kennedy and Cape Knox RRF vessels.
These vessels are moored IA W Navy Heavy Weather
Mooring Service Type III requirements and do not sortie
from the berth during severe weather. The Port of New
Orleans is currently designing a third cruise terminal at
the Poland‐Pauline Wharfs for the AIDA Cruise Line to
berth the ship VITA for several port of call cruises to be
berthed at Poland Avenue Berths 4 and 5. The VITA
carries 1,266 passengers, is 42,289 GT, is 665 ft. long,
and needs at least 21 ft. of draft. In its present condition,
due to barge traffic and tug boats in the area, about 58
out of 133 fender piles are missing in this 800 linear feet
berth. The VITA berth has many fender piles are missing,
leaving the wharf substructure vulnerable to damage by
vessel collisions. Pilings are to be embedded in the
riverbed varying between El. ‐35 ft. and El ‐65 ft.
