The length of the cruise pier 1,312ft and the width 60ft. The pier was reengineered and strengthened to facilitate vessels up to 180,000 GRT. The Tortola cruise pier can now facilitate all class of ships with the exception of the Oasis whose maximum tonnage exceeds 200,000 GRT, and facilitate two large ships at anchor in harbour. This allows the port to facilitate up to four cruise ships at a time. Ships tenders are accommodated at the tender pier adjacent to the cruise pier.
The turning basin 0.4 miles south southeast of the cruise pier has a radius exceeding 300 meters and a minimum depth of 11.3 meters. Tug assistance is rarely required for even the larger vessels manoeuvring in this area. The anchorage within the harbour is located in clean, calm and uncongested waters and just 0.5 miles from the Road Town Ferry Terminal.
Fun fact: The Pier, originally built in 1994, has undergone expansions in 1999 and 2015. Notably, on February 15, 2019, the Tortola Pier Park was renamed as the Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park, marking a significant historical milestone.
