"Nonononononononono... YES!" - Memphis Red
As racers cross the decks of ships and scream down harbor walls, this abandoned drydock on the water's edge provides a lethal racetrack. Tremors weaken structures and cranes threaten to drop their cargo, forcing racers to bring their A-game every time.
Docklands is a track in MotorStorm: Apocalypse. As its name suggests, the track consists of dock areas, wrecked ships, objects dropped by cranes, collapsing smoke stacks, as well as elevated areas on shipping containers. Big Dog, Tyler, and Mash drive through a similar dock area during their respective prologues, Big Dog also returns during 'Route 666' although by that time the docks are no longer at sea-level.

Day 1, Afternoon | Mash | Wasabi Wildcat MX, Dirt Bike | 3-Lap Race | unidentified Rolling | 5th | We've packed just about every vehicle into this one. You're good with a bike, but they're all bigger than you. Avoid mud and water too - the bike'll get bogged down before you know it. | 5 |

Day 1, Afternoon | Tyler | Ozutsu Ronin MkIV, Rally Car | Eliminator | unidentified Standing | 3rd | These here docks were a big part of the City's evacuation, but everyone's gone so they're ours now. Great surfaces and plenty of route choices means this is anyone's race. | 5 |

Day 1, Afternoon | Big Dog | Voodoo Sandcutter, Buggy | 4-Lap Race | Closed Rolling | 3rd | It came as a surprise to see you invite the Dusklite asshole on deck. Nice going, Maddy. I guess I was lucky that I see him again 'til the Festival's end... | 5 |

Day 2, Early Evening | Mash | Mojave Berdino, Mudplugger | 3-Lap Race | unidentified Rolling | 5th | It's looking like the mother of all quakes this time around, but that Mudplugger's good for any terrain, it'll get you where you're going. It's been a blast, kid - you're doing great. | 3 |

Destruction and Hazards[]
Dock of the Bay[]
- (Story Mode Only) The player is highly vulnerable to being taken down. With many branching paths, vehicles may suddenly cross your path with no warning and no time to react.
Car Go[]
- Crazies presence just after the warehouse.
Rising Damp[]
- During the first lap, one of the two "twin cranes" will drop a boat onto the lake bed and collapse. A yellow dock loader gantry ahead of the lap line will drop an open, empty container beneath it.
- Shortly after the second lap begins, a smokestack will topple and block the closer ramp down to the lake bed. Racers must instead delay their turns to access the elevated platform. Shortly after that, a crane will collapse.
- Foreshadowed by a horn, a container ship will crash into the dock as the "twin cranes" collapse. Additionally the lake bed path starts to slowly flood.
- Container stacks will be destabilized by the earthquake. Another dock loader gantry will drop its open container.

Trivia[]
- A white truck bearing the MotorStorm logo can be seen at the trackside.
- There is a huge section of mud ideal for taking Mud Pluggers, Big Rigs, and Monster Trucks through, but by the time "Final Drive" takes place on the course Epilogue (which passes through Docklands as well as a variety of other tracks), the docks are underwater.
- In Ship Shape, in the last building before the start/finish line, there's a gap which will lead you to a route between the structure and a wall of containers. At the end of the route, there is a ramp over another wall of containers and will have you land ready for the next lap or the finish line.
- In Rising Damp in Time Attack, both the lake bed path and the elevated platform path were opened, while in Quick Race with incidents disabled the lake bed path is blocked by the smokestack and flooded by the container ship before starting the race.
- This track is based on Hunter's Point in San Francisco
- On the track 'Ship Shape', on th backstretch of the course where the massive red/white column is, the word BEADLESS is written on there. Why? Who knows.
A MotorStorm truck.
