Almarin bets on the development of pontoons for marinas in Spain
13-03-2017
Almarin, in collaboration with its partner Lindley, specialized in the manufacture of pontoons for marinas and recreational ports, is developing this market in Spain, especially promoting the concrete and maritime aluminum pontoons. The company offers a wide range of breakwaters and floating docks, walkways and access controls, as well as all kinds of accessories and services for marinas. Almarin has already carried out its first works in Spain with the supply and installation of docks for Tarragona, Bilbao and Chipiona.
This new activity is added to the main existing areas since 2004: aids to marine navigation and equipment for dry docks. In line with this expansion of its activity, last year Almarin signed an exclusive distribution agreement in Spain for the Rolec brand, manufacturer of supply turrets and dock lighting, thus reinforcing the supply of equipment for the area of ??marinas and dry docks. Lindley, with more than 25 years of experience in this sector, has developed numerous marine projects in Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde and Angola. Some of the most relevant works in Portugal are Marina de Cascais, Marina de Tróia, Marina Parque das Nações, Porto de Recreio de Oeiras and all the docks of the Lisbon Port Authority, in addition to other smaller projects for marinas, and several private docks in Angola and Cape Verde.
In Brazil, Lindley carried out the renovation of the Marina da Glória in Rio de Janeiro, which hosted the 2016 Olympic Games, and participated in the construction of the Itajaí Marina in Santa Catarina, where the Volvo Ocean Race 2015 regatta was held, and it has also installed pontoons in Bracuhy and Ribeira in Angra dos Reis.
