Inland and Coastal Marine Systems has won the contract for extensive works at Dover Harbour.
A new workboat berth with seven 100 tonne concrete breakwater pontoons is to be installed at England’s busy Dover Harbour on the south coast.
Seawork exhibitor Inland and Coastal Marine Systems (ICMS) has been awarded the contract to supply and install the floating concrete units which, when combined with one metre of freeboard, will be suitable for berthing working vessels with up to 1,000 tonnes displacement.
“With the busy port’s location on the southeast coast being relatively exposed, we’ve created a bespoke design using our robust concrete breakwater units which are strong and durable enough to accommodate the port’s workboats and large commercial vessels, providing safe all year round berthing, and water access for crews, for a long time to come,” said Maeve Parker, sneior marina engineer at ICMS.
The installation, which will begin next spring, also includes the supply of floating foam fenders and M&E services, Parker says.
