Lose the parking lot. Way too cute and never that close to the sea. I would see truck docks on the outside or just plain brick wall with availible land area used for something. Even if it is just a pay phone and union hall.The roads in a Marine Ternimal is usually unmarked except for a yellow line at the gate house to guide the truckers in and out of lanes in bad weather or nighttime.Replace it with a small diner or a roach truck and some sort of yard office like structure where people can check in before venturing futher onto the property.Dont forget the Bollards for the ships, pilings and assorted rip rap that Harbors have. The dock itself can be whatever you want it to be but make everything else a stone wall or sloped rock so that the water wont undermine the land below.I am having trouble with the PIer Crane on the corner. can you find a few inches more between the Pier warehouse and water and actually run the tracks on which the crane runs along the length of the dock?The angle area sticking out where the crane is is a nightmare for ship captians trying to get into and out of that dock. Can you make it straight and accept the limitation? I dont see having curved tracks on the water end of a dock. It's just not visually credible. You CAN have the crane on the corner to the left bottom of the dock instead of the curved section, but it better have a decent boom long enough to reach towards the middle of a docked vessal.Directly below the crane can be just a simple Lay down pad for trucks, bulk cargo etc.The track that crosses the road intersection is too short to be of use, try exchanging the straight peice for one or two curved peices to gain length.I can almost smell the sea and hear the Gulls trying to snag the Crane Operator's Coffee and Doughnut.Well done.
