agree  vic voskuil: a steiger is not really the same as a pontoon, but I will go along with a walkway pier ;)

  -> Thanks, Vic - walkway jetty/pier would certainly fit here

disagree  Marc Van de Velde, MNI: A pontoon is a floating device, a jetty not necessarily so; a jetty may be supported by piles.
