Coastal and offshore structures are subjected to time-dependent deterioration due to chemical attack and steel corrosion. The components of the concrete jetties show rapid deterioration due to the combined effects of abrasion, corrosion and changes in both temperature and moisture content. Maintenance of concrete jetties is a major concern to Port and Harbour Authorities in both developing and developed countries. This paper reviews the possible deterioration mechanisms, inspection techniques and restoration methods used for concrete jetties. Restoration methods can be grouped into four categories, namely, conventional repair, cathodic protection, chloride extraction and protective coatings. Advantages and disadvantages of these methods are discussed. Restoration strategy needs to cover issues such as (a) whether a short-term or long-term strategy is needed; (b) merits and limitations of restoration methods; (c) procedures of the restor ation techniqu
