Newly merged pontoon companies eye global expansion

AUSTRALIA: Marine Structures, an entity formed in September/October by the strategic merger of Superior Jetties with The Jetty Specialist, is looking to play a big part in the international superyacht marina sector. 

Superior and The Jetty Specialist have dominated the design and construction of state-of-the-art superyacht berthing and pontoon systems throughout Australian marinas for many years, with highlights such as Southport Yacht Club on the Gold Coast, Queensland (above). Internationally, their host of projects include the ADNEC Superyacht Marina (Abu Dhabi), Paihia Wharf (New Zealand), multiple sites for Port Klang (Malaysia), Eden Rock (St Barts) and several other projects in Japan, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and The Philippines.
Now positioned as Australia’s largest pontoon manufacturer, Marine Structures is poised to compete at a higher level. “Our continued growth globally, especially in the Asia Pacific region is a natural progression given the increasing demand for high-quality, cutting-edge pontoons designed to accommodate larger and more sophisticated superyachts, as well as full ferry infrastructure projects,” says Marine Structures director John Hogan.
“We’ve earned a reputation for excellence in Australia, and we’re confident that our experience, combined with our innovative designs, will make us a trusted partner for governments, marinas and superyacht facilities around the world,” he adds.
