Basin remodeling and expansion for larger vessels

Marina Port Vell – Basin remodeling and expansion for larger vessels

Marina Port Vell needed to adapt its infrastructure to accommodate a growing fleet of larger vessels with higher operational demands. MSI executed the remodeling of the original 1991 basin, replacing the traditional mooring system with pile-guided concrete floating pontoons, thereby improving stability and reducing maintenance requirements. This intervention modernized the marina, preparing it for larger vessels with secure, efficient, and comfortable facilities.
