Lindley supplies pontoons and aids to navigation in Cape Verde
18-06-2013
Lindley, specialized in floating equipment, has recently supplied pontoons and aids to navigation to ENAPOR, the Cape Verde port management company. The pontoons were part of the infrastructure created in Porto Novo (Santo Antão Island) for the berthing of tenders servicing the cruise ships that visit the archipelago. The aids to navigation were supplied to the contractors carrying out the second phase of the works in Porto da Praia (Santiago Island).
The Grupo Lindley, in which the company specialized in aids to navigation is Almarin, has supplied two Balizamar C1600T buoys with its respective lanterns to mark the entrance of the port and the Santiago Island. Moreover, the company delivered an ALT7 tower with a 10NM nominal range light and an ALT9 tower with a LED sector light. The first beacon is used to mark the approach to the port (in conjunction with the Dona Maria Pia lighthouse) and also the new pier; the second beacon is mainly used to mark the last stretch of the port entrance at night. Lindley’s technical staff has provided training to the ENAPOR team for the operation, assembly and maintenance of the supplied equipment.
