Waiting pontoon for high season

A new waiting pontoon, manufactured by Lindley, has been installed in the entrance channel to the main harbour at Marina Palamós on the Costa Brava, Spain.

The dock has been designed to serve as a temporary mooring point for boats of up to 10m (33ft) in length while waiting for access to the marina or the fuel pump. This will enhance safety during the summer months when there is heavy traffic entering or leaving the marina. The structure can be dismantled during the winter.
Almarin supplied and installed the 60m (197ft) long aluminium floating pontoon and a 6m (20ft) long aluminium access walkway. The system has articulated radius arms due to its proximity to the breakwater. This approach also reduced costs by avoiding the need for piles.
Marina Palamós has 902 moorings, a boatyard and a nautical base.
