I bet most AHJs are going to want to see a service disconnect up on shore with a ground electrode system there for a building on a pier. I am still not sure how the reconcile 250.32(A)
It would be very easy to argue article 555 does not apply if there are no docking facilities on this pier.
I will ask the boys over on Florida IAEI since buildings on piers are pretty common here. I just never had to do one myself.
