When valves in the pontoons open, the chambers in the dock fill with water causing the dry dock to semi-submerge itself under the water allowing a ship to be moved into position inside. Once the ship is in position, pumps start up and pump all the water out of the chambers floating the dry dock back above the surface. Floating docks can be built to almost any specification, although the most common range in lift capacities is about 1,000 tons to well over 100,000 tons as this is the most economical
