Now in its second year since being launched, the living seawalls project spearheaded by PhD student Jess Allen – now working in an advisory capacity for Inland and Coastal Marina Systems – is celebrating the largest UK living seawall installation which will take place in West Sussex later this year.
“The awareness around the benefit of installing living sea walls has increased massively over the last 12 months,” says Inland and Coastal Marina’s Sales Manager Bryan Stewart, citing customers that include in Northern Ireland Fisheries. Jess Allen says that there has even been interest from inland marinas. “It will be interesting to see how the living sea wall structure could operate in a fresh water environment,” she says.
In addition to living seawalls, Inland and Coastal Marinas has seen an increase in demand for its robust and heavy-duty pontoons, with a particular increase from offshore wind support and CTV vessels. “Seawork is always a really busy show for us,” says Stewart. “Data from Port Industry Incidents Statistics 2022 shows that 34% of lost time injury is caused when getting on or off vessels so at Inland and Coastal we ensure that anyone operating on workboats, tugs, pilot boats and so forth can get on and off vessels safely, no matter what the conditions.”
