Port Vell Marina

Renovation of the dock and expansion to accommodate larger vessels

Marina Port Vell needed to adapt its infrastructure to accommodate a growing fleet of longer vessels with more demanding operational requirements. MSI carried out the renovation of the original 1991 basin, replacing the traditional mooring system with concrete floating docks supported by piles, thereby improving stability and reducing maintenance. The project modernized the marina and prepared it for larger vessels, providing safe, efficient, and comfortable facilities.
