Carmarthenshire County Council; existing-harbour and masterplan context, not the 2026 replacement-float contract, delivery, installation or acceptance evidence

A direct goods award to Solent Marine Ltd covers replacement floats for Burry Port Harbour's pontoons. The contract is GBP 72,600 excluding VAT and runs from 16 March 2026 to 31 March 2029. Solent Marine is the confirmed supplier, while float quantity, installation responsibility and accepted replacement work remain unpublished.

Signed replacement-float goods contract

Solent Marine's UK7 records the company identifier, direct goods award, signed values, dates and replacement-float scope. Sell2Wales reports one offer and one supplier. The council image depicts the existing harbour; quantities, installation allocation, delivered renewal and acceptance remain undisclosed.

Float supply and pontoon installation responsibilities

Pontoon renewal requires compatible buoyancy and connections, inspection and transport, removal and lifting or launching, reconnection, berth phasing, commissioning and disposal. The published goods scope leaves the delivery sequence and installation allocation unresolved. Those responsibilities retain their own boundary alongside the harbour's dredging and capital programme.

The goods and floating-structures classification establishes replacement-float supply; installation allocation, quantities, specifications, call-off dates, delivered work, commissioning and acceptance remain undisclosed.
