New Seabin with pontoon orders at METS

Pontoon design, manufacture and installation specialist, Inland and Coastal Marina Systems (ICMS), is offering a new Seabin* on pontoon orders placed from enquiries received during METS as part of its ongoing commitment reducing plastic waste in our waterways and oceans.

Designed to be installed in marinas, yacht clubs and harbours, the award-winning Seabin acts as a floating rubbish bin and is an essential tool in the fight against ocean plastics. The Seabin offer is available on all types of pontoon orders, although the team from ICMS will specifically be showcasing its Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) decked pontoons at the show in Amsterdam.

ICMS says its GRC decking has excellent anti-slip properties, with recent tests showing that it is 14 per cent more slip resistant than hardwood timber in dry conditions and 10 per cent in wet, putting it in the low-risk potential category for wet conditions, as opposed to hardwood which is in the moderate risk potential category.

The hardwearing GRC decking also said not to rot, which is something that traditional wooden pontoon decking suffers from, significantly increasing maintenance costs and reducing the life span of a wooden marina system.

“The colour and texture of our GRC decking can be altered to suit an individual marina’s requirements, offering the classic hardwood timber yacht marina aesthetic or a lighter, brighter continental look,” says Oliver Shortall, managing director at ICMS.

“Combining the strength of concrete with the slenderness of timber, our timber effect GRC decking is the future for creating modern, sustainable marinas. As part of our sustainability effort, we always endeavour to work with the existing infrastructure as much as possible as well, making the most efficient use of time and resources.

“And as we manufacture our own GRC, our pontoons, with a design life of 30 years, offer the lowest lifetime cost of any marina decking on the market.”

The ICMS team will be on stand EL.220 at METS, accompanied by a barrel of Guinness – especially shipped from Ireland for the event.

* New Seabin only on orders for marina systems over £50k. All orders to be received by 31.12.21.
