The Waterfront Structures Committee has been working on a voluntary basis since 1949 as a committee of the Hamburg-based Hafenbautechnische Gesellschaft e.V. (HTG, German Port Technology Association) and, since 1951, concurrently as Study Group 2.2 of the Essen-based Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geotechnik e.V. (DGGT, German Geotechnical Society). The full title of the committee translates as Committee for the Simplification and Standardisation of the Design and Configuration of Waterfront Structures.
