PRODUCTS & SERVICES Insurance change US company PowerDocks won the 2018 Miami International Boat Show innovation award for its Blue Isles floating solar-powered platforms (see Marina World January/February 2018). The floating docks capture and store solar energy for use in marina facilities and remote mooring fields. The customisable ‘micro-grids’ can help reduce energy costs at marinas and provide the convenience of power distribution to floating locations offshore. E: abaro@power-docks.com Gael Force partners with Pontoon & Dock Scottish floating pontoon manufacturer Gael Force has established a partnership with modular pontoon and marina equipment specialist The Pontoon & Dock Company. The latter will represent Gael Force’s SeaHaven range of floating pontoons, concrete breakwaters and gangways in marina markets across England, Wales, the Channel Isles and Isle of Man. A recent Gael Force pontoon installation in Tarbert on the Scottish island of Harris. The SeaHaven range includes a standard model of pontoon for inland waterways and less exposed locations, and a robust, heavy-duty model for exposed and coastal locations. Last year, Gael Force also produced its first batch of large floating concrete breakwaters. Contrary to the report in the January/ February issue, UK marina chain Premier Marinas has partnered with GJW Direct (not Towergate Insurance) to deliver a major overhaul of its Premier Marine Insurance product. Premier believes the move will make its insurance brand more competitive. Premier Marine Insurance will be administered by an expert team of GJW Direct underwriters and claims handlers. The team will be dedicated to Premier Marine Insurance customers and will provide quality cover for all types of craft from RIBs and small yachts through to motor boats and yachts up to 29m (95ft). Gael Force sales director, Jamie Young, said: “Our partnership with Pontoon & Dock is one which provides an excellent fit within our plans to extend our offering to marina operations across the wider UK – to bring a robustly manufactured product to the market and add real value to marinas.” Dan Bryant, managing director of Pontoon & Dock, commented: “Our partnership with Gael Force Group is part of an ongoing commitment to offer quality pontoons to customers through the UK. Gael Force has experienced significant success with the SeaHaven range and we look forward to working closely with the team.” marinas@gaelforcegroup.com sales@pontoonanddock.com 56 www.marinaworld.com - March/April 2018
