Monaco has started to expand its territory, but instead of bringing in military forces, it is constructing an extraordinarily large concrete pier in the beautiful port of Monaco, extending Prince Rainier's territory over three hundred meters into the sea. This 160,000-ton pier will increase its capacity to anchor seven hundred extremely luxurious yachts. The new pier can also accommodate three passenger and leisure ships, allowing passengers for the first time to step directly from their ships onto the shores of Monaco. This massive and heavy pier was built in southern Spain and transported to the port of Monaco by tugboats. Within the next two weeks, this multi-million dollar floating pier will be secured with a seven hundred-ton steel cable and other anchors, providing more facilities for the wealthy residents of Monaco, including parking for four hundred cars, restaurants, shops, new offices, and a marine station.
