Millions of breasting and mooring dolphins have been installed in inland waterways adjacent to jetties and waiting facilities for ship-to-ship transhipment or as crash barriers in commercial port areas throughout the world.

Dolphins are typically located adjacent to waterfront structures such as quay walls, jetties, locks and bridge piers.
