Mar ina Palamós impro ve s navigatio n safety w it h a waiting po nto o n

Marina Palamós now features a new waiting pont oon in the entrance channel t o the main harbour. This new floating auxiliar y structure ser ves as a t emporar y mooring point for boats measuring up t o 10 metres in length during periods when they are waiting for availability in the marina or at the fuel pump.

The management of the marina designed this solution to improve safety in the summer months when there is heavy traffic entering or leaving the marina coinciding with boats waiting to refuel that previously had to circle in the main channel. The solution is designed to be dismantled and removed to storage in winter months Almarin supplied and installed a 60 metre long aluminium floating pontoon, with a 6-metre long aluminium access walkway, all manufactured by Lindley Due to its proximity to the breakwater, the chosen mooring system was ar ticulated radius arms. This approach also avoided the use of piles, thereby minimizing the required resources for installation Marina Palamós, located on the Costa Brava in Spain, has 902 moorings and also has a boatyard area and a nautical base.
