Out in the harbour, the upright piles will eventually be integrated into a marina curve, for which planning permission was granted by Dover District Council under application number DOV/15/01254 for the “reduction of ramps to either end of sheet pile section and construction of cargo berths and marina curve, to be attached to masonry section”. The ramps, which the planning application refers to, formed part of the Prince of Wales Pier.

There is also a crane-barge, loaded with piles, with a pile-driver attached to the end of its jib driving a pile into the seabed. To the right of the crane-barge, very near to the Prince of Wales Pier TR3240, is the hopper barge Wadden 1 and to her right, the dredger Kreeft. Nearer to the beach, there is another dredger.
