Marinetek is expanding its Mediterranean portfolio with projects supporting the restoration of Rhodes Marina in Greece and infrastructure development at the ports of Makarska and Novalja in Croatia.
A severe storm struck the Aegean island of Rhodes in January 2026, causing extensive damage to Rhodes Marina’s main breakwater and several floating pontoon piers. The marina is now undergoing a recovery as part of a wider redevelopment plan under its new ownership.
The first phase of the work included an urgent restoration effort, with 12 concrete pontoons delivered and installed by Marinetek in June to form two new floating piers designed to accommodate vessels of up to 30 metres.
In Croatia, Marinetek Adriatic has taken on a waterfront redevelopment project in the city of Makarska under a contract worth around €700,000 ($796,000 USD), with the work scheduled for completion within six months.
The project is expected to increase the port’s berthing capacity through two floating piers with a combined length of 210 metres. Marinetek Adriatic will manufacture and install the complete anchoring system, assemble the pontoons and mooring components, and install the required safety equipment.
One pier will extend 120 metres across eight pontoon sections, while the other will run for 90 metres over six sections. Both will use Marinetek M2415AC all-concrete pontoons, with six-metre finger piers at their outer ends to provide mooring for visiting vessels.

Further along Croatia’s Adriatic coast, on the island of Pag, Marinetek Adriatic has secured a contract to install a new breakwater pontoon at the Port of Novalja. Valued at approximately €313,000 ($356,000), the project is the seventh phase of the port’s long-term infrastructure development programme.
Marinetek said the three projects reflect the role of “durable floating infrastructure in meeting growing berthing capacity needs and addressing the challenges posed by severe weather” and that its work “contributes to the development of safer and more resilient waterfront infrastructure across the Mediterranean.”
