<p align="justify">The high percentage of Indonesians living in coastal areas (up to 60%) requires economic support structures in the area. One of the supporting structures is the floating dock structure. Floating dock is an interesting alternative to be developed. The advantage of floating dock is very pronounced in areas that have large tide mounts and serve small vessels such as fishing boats. With the floating dock, we can avoid bulding a very high structure to overcome the tidal mounts in the area. In addition, small vessels can dock at any time without the need to wait for high because the floating dock moves following the water elevation. <br /> <br /> In this research, the floating structure that is designed will be functioned as a fish terminal. The scope of this research is the application of a pile as a mooring system of a floating dock, instead of using mooring rope. In the process of determining the properties of the piles, hydrodynamic structure modeling was carried out to determine the response of structural motion, modeling of the mooring system, and analysis of the lateral bearing capacity of the soil. In the mooring system modeling approach was taken using mooring rope as a model of the pile. Therefore this modeling is only intended to determine the force that acting on the pile and not observing the motion response of the structure. Because of this approach, there is a problem to determine the force that used in the pile design. <br /> <br /> The results from the overall analysis, we can get the property of the pile that is able to accommodate the response of the motion of the structure due to environmental loads. The property of the pile is 1200 mm in diameter which has 12 mm thickness, for piles that have yield strength 240 MPa. In addition, for the pile to accommodate the required axial and lateral forces it need to be put up 14 m deep, where the pile has reached hard ground.<p align="justify">
