Abstract

Floating Jetty or commonly known as a floating dock, is one of the facilities at the port to take passengers from ship to land or vice versa. River transport is one of the transport routes that is quite widely used by the Indonesian people. HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) material can be used for the construction of marine buildings and buildings in freshwater waters. The use of HDPE material as an alternative material to become a floating dock is an alternative to the use of environmentally friendly and recyclable materials. In this research, a floating dock will be planned using HDPE material to support river transport.
