The 2012 Marina Conference, held from the 25th to 26th April at Hayling Island, near Portsmouth will be sponsored once again by Walcon Marine – the leading designer, manufacturer and installer of marinas and harbour facilities.
The picturesque West Coast of Scotland is prone to heavy weather, and Rhu Marina, on the Firth of Clyde, is exposed to strong winds and treacherous currents. To protect the 240-berth marina and provide safe harbor for sailors year-round, installation expert Walcon Marine turned to SF Marina USA to replace the marina’s aging breakwater.
Walcon Marine’s Dutch (Benelux) distributor Infra Trading BV has won the contract to supply new pontoons for the expansion of the marina at Yerseke, on the Eastern Schelde estuary in the Dutch province of Zeeland which is a popular boating destination due to its many islands and fine beaches.
Walcon Marine has completed a superyacht jetty at the Bahrain Marina Club. The assignment marks a return for Walcon to a location that they first worked at nearly thirty years ago when they built the existing 150 berth marina at the club.
Walcon Marine has created a floating football pitch in Australia for the Sydney International FIFA Fan Fest, which will host street soccer competitions as part of the program of celebrations for the World Cup. Once the World Cup is finished the floating football field will be dismantled and then reassembled to form the walkways for the Sydney International Boat Show – Australia’s biggest Boat Show, being held from 29 July to 2 August.
