Aqua-docks' modular, durable and lightweight construction provides a long-lasting, cost effective solution for platforms or pontoons in the harshest of environments. Easily assembled with basic tools, the Aqua-dock pontoon system can be constructed in virtually limitless ways for the most demanding projects with limited facilities in restricted access locations and being modular, replacement of single items or redesigns are expedited in short time. Cargo can be efficiently offloaded from Sealift or commercial vessels in areas without the benefit of fixed port facilities or the pontoons can be used to hold supplies or manpower for forward distribution or storage no matter what the sea condition. After use the Aqua-dock system can be quickly taken apart and loaded onto transport to the next location.
"The pontoon is entirely successful. I used 8mm chain and 5kg Bruce anchors, lighter than your specification, but far less backbreaking to lift and check, and rock-solid even in the worst weather: gales with 80 mph gusts and three months locked in four inches of ice. The anchors were well bedded-in with the powerboat. We've found that heavy gear tends to skate, whereas the lighter anchors just dig deeper and deeper. If the pontoon can stand the strains of ninety acres of moving ice during the thaw, the load imposed by the dinghies (even a novice trying to fillet it with a Wayfarer) is minimal."
