Abstract: A technical summary of the coastal dock engineering design for a refinery was introduced in the paper, the design features of three parts, dock, oil tank farm, medium distance pipeline were introduced in detail. On the hasis of dock construction experience the points of the design are as follows: (1) the type of dock is type of island, the outside is for ship mooring, the bridge approack is 4 meters in width with the consideration of vehicle passing and safety production.(2)loading arm is applied for loading and unloading of crude oil and gasoline. (3)the foam bottles, foam handcart, and air foam gun group are for dock and bridge approach fire protection, based on the analysis of fire cause in doack, bridge approach, and oil ships, the oil ships are mainly applied self force for fire protection. (4) the relation among the dock, oil tank farm, and refinery are correctly treated, the devices are resonable.
