Can anyone tell me what is the required maximum spacing between marine dock safety ladders for an industrial waterfront dock located in the Miami area?

The subject dock is a 1300-ft long sheet pile bulkhead located along the waterfront of an oil terminal, where barges frequently load/unload. At present, there are no such ladders and there is a concern regarding the lack of safety of someone that might fall in the water.

Is there a specifice code or regulation regarding this?

Thanks.
 
I THINK OSHA has a standard for ship building so, you may want to research that standard; also US Coast Guard may be of help.
