Installing safe mooring systems

Via Professional Submarine Services, Spanish company Almar has supplied and installed an aluminium pontoon with concrete floats to provide temporary moorings for storm shelter at the port of Ibiza in Ibiza (above left).

The Lindley pontoons form a pier of around 180m (590ft) long with a walkway at each end. The mooring system consists of articulated radius arms to enable the infrastructure to adjust to tidal movements.
On its home market in Portugal, Lindley was also recently contracted by Atlântinivel to supply 100m (330ft) of concrete pontoons for a Docapesca project in the fishing area in Vila do Conde (above right). The pontoons provide an excellent mooring pier that improves working conditions and safety for fishermen. Emergency ladders and pedestals, and a complete lighting system were also installed.
