Spain’s IGY Málaga Marina has completed the installation of a new vacuum wastewater collection system supplied by Flovac, marking a key development in the marina’s service infrastructure.
The project was awarded in March 2022 and is now fully operational on Piers 1 and 2. Flovac describes the system as designed to provide an efficient and clean method for wastewater disposal directly from vessels moored at the marina.
The installation includes 635 metres of vacuum pipeline, a single vacuum station and 18 connection points positioned along the piers. These features allow vessels to discharge wastewater from their berths without the need for mobile tankers.
By placing pipelines above the water table, the project avoids complex underground work and reduces infiltration risks. The design also contributes to lower maintenance and operational costs.
The marina accommodates 33 superyachts ranging from 20-180 metres and offers services including blackwater pump-out, waste collection, recycling and vessel concierge support.
IGY Málaga Marina forms part of the Island Global Yachting (IGY) network, which operates 24 marinas in 14 countries. IGY’s portfolio spans the Americas, Europe and the Middle East.
