20-02-2008: VERSATILE DOCKING ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL

February 2008 – A revolutionary maintenance free docking system is taking the marine industry by storm.

Unlike docks constructed from wood and metal parts, the VersaDock system offers waterfront and anchored docking whilst delivering unparalleled versatility – allowing even the most awkward corners, mud flats or previously unusable areas to be accessed with ease.

VersaDock floats form the cornerstone of the system, and are constructed using a high molecular weight polyethylene – capable of dealing with the most demanding environments – and are already being used by marinas and boat yards across the globe. Floats are made to
the strictest requirements, and are strong enough to hold extraordinary loads. Residential docks are made of the very same materials as commercial docks, and are virtually indestructible.

The VersaDock system is also proving increasingly popular with private boat owners as installation does not require any specialist skills, and can be assembled in only a few hours – indeed this is the only modular system that can be assembled from above the dock.

The drive-on V-Float technology literally guides and cradles the hull of a boat or jet ski safely onto the dock. This enables vessels to be driven on and stored out of the water thus protecting them from salt and corrosion in the harsh marine environment – also meaning no anti-fouling is required.

VersaDock’s design is so robust it allows the dock to move with the waves – whilst remaining completely solid. Best of all, maintenance is hardly required because excess water immediately drains away, and in most cases they can also be left in the water over the winter.  
The lightweight interlocking modules are easy to add to, change, upgrade or relocate – as well as being environmentally friendly, UV and freeze resistant, durable and practical.

A new VersaDock marina has recently been constructed as part of Dubai's new Palm at Deira
(see above photo) – a palm-shaped man-made island which is set to be home to the rich and famous.

VersaDock's unique design and unmatched quality allow the dock to be used in almost any application. A variety of accessories, for example cleats and fenders, are also offered in the range, which is available from VersaDock International at www.versadock.com or through a number of distributors within Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Australasia.
