Fassa fell back onto the loading dock floor, dragging her assailant with her.

Tow lines recessed in the loading dock floor haul heavy bulk mail to a sorting desk.

Damaged by fire on 21 May 2007 while undergoing conservation, the ship was permanently elevated three meters above the dry dock floor in 2010 as part a plan for long-term preservation.

The farewelling crowd included a young Push lady, Janne (or Jan) Millar, who fell to the concrete dock floor from a height and suffered fatal head injuries.

Work on-site began in early May, 1986, and within twelve months the contractor had excavated the dock, constructed a new north wall, re-puddled the dock floor and renovated the Lock.

The cradle can be standing on the dock floor or it can be equipped with wheels so that the ship standing upon it can be transported from the dry docking installation to a parking area.
