Walcon Marine has completed a major extension of Whitehaven Marina in the UK.
On behalf of Whitehaven Harbour Commissioners, Walcom marine has created an independent marina in Whitehaven’s South Harbour, which is itself set within Whitehaven’s Inner Harbour. This facility replaces the free-standing, piled trot moorings.
Following the completion of this project Whitehaven Marina now has an additional 140 pontoons for craft of 7m to 13m (22ft-42ft) taking the total number of berths to 440.
In addition to pontoons, walkways and bridge, Walcon Marine also installed the wall guides and the piling.
Terry Ponting, chairman of Whitehaven Harbour Commissioners, comments: “The whole project was very professionally handled, and was delivered on time and to budget. We have worked with Walcon for many years and we value the efficiency and responsiveness of their service as well as the quality of their products.”
Whitehaven is located in the north-west of England, on the edge of the Irish Sea, surrounded by the Lake District National Park.
