Earlier in the summer, Walcon supplied the infrastructure for the new Double Steps Pontoon in the Dart Harbour, Devon. The design is fully customised to both meet the profile of the steps and to allow a wide range of craft to come alongside safely. In a statement to the local press, Harbourmaster Paul Britton said: “This pontoon has always been very busy, as it’s the main dinghy mooring in the town, as well as being the base for the Dittisham and Noss ferries, yacht taxis and hire boats.
"We’ve been able to simplify our original plans, meaning much less visual intrusion on the view from the embankment, particularly as we have ‘recycled’ the old Docking Solutions pontoon which was moored offshore, to become the outer part of the new Double Steps Pontoon.
“The new facility, as well as providing new deep water berths for the yacht taxis and ferries, provides additional space for dinghies and much-needed room for visiting RIBs and dayboats. We have also been able to provide a 20 minute drop off/pick up berth which the harbour has been lacking in the past."
