English term or phrase: breasting dollphins and mooring dolphins
It's a manual with the specifications of jetty structures.

I found that "breasting dolphins" are "postes de amarre". Now I come up with "mooring dolphins". So what would be the difference?

Thanks!

Explanation:
A dolphin is an isolated marine structure for berthing and mooring of
vessels. It is not uncommon that the combination of dolphins with piers could drastically reduce the size of piers.

Dolphins are generally divided into two types, namely breasting dolphins and mooring dolphins. Breasting dolphins serves the following purposes:

(i) Assist in berthing of vessels by taking up some berthing loads.
(ii) Keep the vessel from pressing against the pier structure.
(iii) Serve as mooring points to restrict the longitudinal movement of the berthing vessel.

Mooring dolphins, as the name implies, are used for mooring only and for securing the vessels by using ropes. They are also commonly used near pier structures to control the transverse movement of berthing vessels.

Los duques de alba son estructuras aisladas que sirven para dar apoyo lateral y amarre a los buques. La construcción de los duques de alba suele hacerse con base de pilotes con una losa en cabeza.

Estos pilares sustituyen al método tradicional de construcción de estructuras de hormigón y no requieren de mantenimiento pese a su contacto directo con el medio salino. Otra de las ventajas que supone el desarrollo de esta tecnología para la obra civil es que previamente, para las ampliaciones de puertos se usaban barcos cajoneros, muy caros, de dificil desplazamiento y con requerimiento de parar la actividad portuaria.
