I thought it might have lasted until October and winter gales, but anyplace with 1,200 miles of open sea “fetch” to build waves will put any floating pier system at risk in any swells above 3 feet.

It appears to be a floating pier with no protective breakwater so designed to fail?

My knowledge comes only from what I’ve learned watching YouTube’s ‘What’s Going On with Shipping’, so I have no personal expertise in the matter.

Yes Sal Mercogliano. His analysis of this and many maritime problems is spot on.
Love his videos.

That pier came from Ft. Story, a base I served on which was the home for the LACV 30 and LARC 15 way back when. It was the Army's beach build for their Transportation companies. They dismantled it and took it to Gaza. Worked fine for years so on the Chesapeake bay side of the Fort so the Army is blaming the Navy works....lol

Designed tha way. He got what he wanted… tons of taxpayer dollars freshly laying dried for the globalists. Trump was silent on this, but wants to loan Ukraine money he knows they won’t pay back. So it is easy to see he would support the same thing for student loans.
It’s no better than his plan to pay people to have babies… not taxpayers or citizens, just people. After his big pharma and big government medical blank che is it’s easy to see the clear pattern.
He picks winners and losers… with the taxpayer ring the loser every time.
His stellar record on ending wars should be hailed and rewarded by making him SOS, instead of directing g the Republican Party to endorse homosexuality and trannyism…. With you guessed it.. taxpayer dollars.

I suggested months ago that stuff could be put in plastic garbage bags, the bags tied shut, and then dropped in the water near the Gazan shore.

The bags would float and they would get retrieved by Gazans.

The pier was supposed to be Biden’s Berlin Airlift to save the Palestinians from starvation. Despite the pier never working, I guess it was a success. The last I heard, they aren’t starving.

Wonder how much carbon emissions were generated in this effort. Not that it matters to me, but this administration wants ME to abandon my truck and go with an electric vehicle.

Update from CENTCOM says back in service June 19 and June 24 “the pier will pause for scheduled maintenance activities.”

B-but they spent lots of money. Spending lots of money means that if it doesn’t work, you spend even MORE money, until it works. This is Biden’s legacy, just like the exit from Afghanistan. He’s got two endless wars under his belt now, and likely to get a third. Doesn’t that mean anything? What a legacy. It’s important to his legacy that the damned thing be a SUCCESS! Spend more money.
